The Ugandan army troops are being accused of annexing a South Sudanese Village, vandalizing property and evicting more than 4000 people in the process.
Reports from South Sudan indicate that members of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) stormed into the area and burnt into ashes more than 50 houses in the Meriwa, Gorbeleng and Goloko villages.
The Ugandan forces had attacked the Bori Boma, Kangapo II Payam, Kajo-keji County in the Central Equatorial State of South Sudan.
The burning of the houses is said to have followed a well-coordinated attack carried out by the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) onto the South Sudan territory from August 8, 2025, onwards.
It is being stated that the attacks by Ugandan soldiers in the South Sudanese territory have destroyed homes, businesses and farms belonging to more than 3,500 people.
The residents of the affected South Sudanese villages were forced to flee from their burning residential areas into the bushes without carrying anything. The flight was simply to save their lives.
Representatives of the victims said they left behind all their belongings and since the houses have been reduced to ashes, chances are everything has also been destroyed.
Fortunately though, there are no reports of fatalities or casualties.
In other unconfirmed reports, Uganda is alleged to have updated the country’s map drawing, extending its border after the annexation of a section of the South Sudan territory.
In the same controversial map altering move, Uganda is said to have changed the identity of the South Sudanese Kajo-Keji district and renamed the as “Fitina Mbaya” a Swahili phrase loosely meaning “Awful Discord!”
Following the development, one of the Ugandan largest media outlets, in fact the state-owned New Vision made an online post lauding the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) for allegedly “defeating the South Sudan’s People Defence Forces (SSPDF) and reclaiming back what the paper described to be their land.
