them they stole two herds of cattle from kraals and went with them," he added.  Epone said although they are closely working with his Budi counterpart the proliferation of arms in the hands of the youth is beyond their control.  "We are in touch with the Commissioner of Budi but what can we do as county commissioners when the people are not even listening to us You know this proliferation of small arms has made all our youth violent they feel they are more strong,” Epone lamented.  The commissioner says he will convene a meeting with all the political leaders of both Kapoeta North and Budi counties to explore means of promoting peace in the area Budi County Executive Director Alfred Odong says he is not aware of the incidents due to the poor road and communication networks he called upon the communities to live in peace and embrace each other.  says the government has the upper hand in resolving the conflict by ensuring that the resolutions of the Kali peace dialogue are implemented.  "There is this dialogue that was held there are some resolutions were arrived at But the problem is that the resolutions are not followed and the very people that should ensure these resolutions are followed is the government,” Tikol added.  The two communities of Buya of Budi County and Toposa of Kapoeta North Counties have been fighting each other for a long time now.  a local organization supported the initiative of the peace dialogue between the communities of Toposa and Buya in Kali At least two people were killed on Saturday after youth suspected to be from Budi County

(Lokwamor) youth were bringing the cattle back in the evening from grazing and they were just surprised They recovered a lot when the youth followed so they were able to recover a huge number of cattle.” He disclosed that he spoke to his Budi County counterpart to inform him about the matter and suggest possible ways of arresting the situation Commissioner Epone further called on the people of Kapoeta North to remain calm.   “My message to the people of Kapoeta North County is that let us remain calm we don’t encourage revenge killings because this will continue escalating into a bigger conflict which will affect our citizens,” he advised the minister for peace in Eastern Equatoria State said there is a need to engage all stakeholders to talk to their communities to desist from
