South Sudan and Uganda have jointly agreed to tighten security along the border between Karamoja region and South Sudan with the objective was to check crime during the festive season.
The move is said to involve sharing border security information and carry out joint operations to oversee and control the flow of arms.
Since representatives of two governments met at Kidepo Valley National Park in December last year, Karamoja had not registered any influx of guns, especially from South Sudan.
Early this year, security officials from Uganda and Kenya met to strategise on how to control the flow of arms between the two countries.
