3082: NATIONWIDE: Kuda Resolutions - Bridging Divides Between Farmers and Cattle Herders in Central Equatoria

In this episode, we turn to Kuda, where a landmark dialogue has just concluded between cattle herders and farmers from Central Equatoria’s Juba and Terekeka Counties.

For years, tensions over cattle migration have fueled disputes, leading to loss of lives, destruction of farms, and the displacement of communities. The Kuda conference brought together local leaders, government officials, and peace partners to chart a new way forward, one that prioritizes peaceful coexistence, respect for livelihoods, and sustainable land use.

The gathering ended with a series of resolutions aimed at easing tensions and preventing further clashes between cattle keepers and farmers.

Joining us to unpack these resolutions and their significance are:
1️⃣ Hon. Jacob Aligo Lo Lado — Minister of Local Government, Central Equatoria
2️⃣ Victor Fasama — Head of the UNMISS Field Office in Juba
