Bring Kiryandongo communities back home!
Clémence from Land Rights Now contact@landrightsnow.org via gmail.mcsv.net
Since 2017, more than 30,000 families in Kiryandongo district, Uganda, were evicted from the land on which they had been living and farming for a living for decades. The forced evictions were carried out under violent conditions, subjecting the victims to much physical and physiological pressure and violating their basic human rights.
Conditions have worsened during the Covid-19 pandemic, as companies have taken advantage of the blockade and curfew to force people off their land. Their homes have been demolished, hundreds of hectares of crops have been destroyed, community leaders, activists and lawyers have been arrested and charged by the police, leaving the community with no help to secure their rights.
Your digital support helped other communities reclaim their land in the past!
Now you can show your support to the communities of Kiryandongo by signing our petition to the Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development.
Thank you.
