Robbing refugees with their food stuff is such a big problem that makes headlines in Miireyi camp in early July 2017. I mean local people (Madi) are the major suppliers of cereal maize to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugee (UNHCR) and some citizens described it as “Abricaako” literally meaning that hunger has not yet reached our village therefore taking back what belongs to us is the order of the day. Refugees though have various negative impacts, effects inflicted on the specific hosting communities, and the end to the means is poverty and witchcraft overshadowed on the other counterparts because of hatred upon land conflicts thus interventions have been adapted through both central and local government and the land committees at respective levels appointed by the honorable district Member of Parliament General Moses Ali to resolve conflicts between the refugees and the local people.
