Moyo District leaders have urged President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to address the ongoing border dispute between Uganda and South Sudan, particularly at the boundary between Yumbe District and Kajo Keji County in Central Equatoria State of South Sudan.
The leaders made the appeal during President Museveni’s campaign visit to the Madi Sub-region, held at Celecelea Stadium in Moyo District as part of his 2026–2031 presidential campaign tour.
On behalf of the people of Moyo, Anyama Williams, the District NRM Chairperson, tasked President Museveni — the NRM presidential flag bearer — to resolve the boundary dispute for peaceful and harmonious coexistence between the neighboring communities.
“Your Excellency, we still face challenges of a porous border with South Sudan. Recently, we witnessed atrocities in Yumbe and Moyo. We request that the government of Uganda, under your able leadership, finds a durable solution to the boundary problems between Uganda and South Sudan, especially along the Moyo and Kajo Keji border,” Anyama stated.
Responding to the plea, Denis Abuson Obua, the NRM Vice Chairperson for the Northern Region, assured residents that the matter would be addressed, emphasizing the President’s commitment to peace.
“Following the request presented by the NRM Chairperson for Moyo, we believe that as a peace soldier and peacemaker, Your Excellency will ensure that these issues are resolved,” he noted.
In his remarks, President Museveni reaffirmed the NRM’s vision of fostering peace and unity, both within Uganda and in neighboring countries.
“The NRM has maintained peace in Uganda for a very long time. For nearly 500 years before, Uganda had no peace. Some people think Uganda began with the British, but that is not true — we existed long before and organized our own communities,” Museveni said.
He further explained that between 900 AD and 1400 AD, the Baswashi cultural systems helped unify parts of Western Uganda, Central Uganda, and sections of Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo, laying the foundation for regional stability.
