The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda His Grace Stanley Ntagali has condemned the recent violence in Rwenzori region where several lives were lost last month.

He said the conflicting parties should explore dialogue and other peaceful means of resolving
conflicts.

Omubere’s guards are accused of killing 16 police men.
