“This has led to serious famine in the land, especially as in just one night these herdsmen ravaged a full year’s toll, raped our women and killed some people in their farms. “Our people are scared and need the assurances that they can continue to earn a living without fear in their farms and in their houses.

The group explained that the relationship between farmers and herders’ can be likened to that of the tongue and the teeth, stressing that that both need each other to survive “We are appealing to Mr. President to come to our aid and ensure we have our people living without fear, especially going to their farms to harvest food crops,” Prof. Azinge added
