		He says that artefacts and languages show clearly that the culture of the Karimojong and Turkana was shared with Asians and Europeans at prehistoric times and that this should be the guiding principle in the teaching of world history and human civilisation.

		Karimojong have always blamed the government as being responsible for the backwardness and underdevelopment of the region.
		It’s a shame that Karimojong failed to raise to the occasion and state their position on the matter.

		For the Karimojong this means 'Mary held a grudge...'.

	Synchronised disarmament of border communities planned (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Karimojong, an ethnic group in Uganda's northeastern region, and Kenya's northwestern Turkana community, have for years traded bullets during cattle-raids on either side of the border, resulting in the murder of hundreds of people.
		In 2001, Uganda embarked on the disarmament of the Karimojong, but the attempt stalled in 2002 when an intensification of the rebel Lord's Resistance Army hostilities in the north of the country forced the government to redirect resources being used in the disarmament to the war.

	Human Organization, Winter 2000
		While this might explain the increased virulence of intertribal conflict since the end of the colonial era, the direction of aggression by the Karimojong against members of their own ethnic group suggests that there are other factors to be considered.
		On the one hand, the modern manifestation of violence in Karamoja is a logical outcome of an interplay of environmental catastrophes and political mismanagement dating from the colonial era.
		In this sense, the Karimojong sequence is continuous with events taking place in the 20th century throughout the pastoralist zone of northeastern Africa.
