UP to 400 people are believed to have died following three days of ethnic fighting in eastern Uganda, news organisations and humanitarian workers reported. The clashes began last week after the mainly pastoralist Bokora ethnic group attacked their Matheniko tribesmen at Moru Ariwon village between Moroto and Kotido. In a bid to quell the fighting, an army helicopter shelled the Kalosarich area on Friday killing an unknown number of warriors mostly from the raiding Bokora group. The head of the European Commission (EC) in Kampala, Bernard Ryelandt, who visited the affected area on Monday, said elders from various ethnic groups, local authorities, area members of parliament, the government, NGOs and all those concerned had already started a peace initiative to resolve the problem.
