Kampala - Battles among heavily-armed herders over cattle have left 95 people dead in a remote corner of north-eastern Uganda, the army said yesterday. An army spokesman, Maj Phinehas Katirima, said warriors from two rival groups within the Karimojong tribe, the Jie and the Dodoth, fought over their cattle at the weekend.
An army captain in the region told the state-owned New Vision newspaper that rotting bodies littered the battlefield after the fighting.
