ACHOLI leaders and elders have been urged to settle land disputes amicably.
"The issue of land is causing a lot of trouble and it may even be worse than the sound of guns we have been hearing in the past. Please, do not let land to divide us. When there is any dispute, sit down and discuss it without causing bloodshed," Bishop John Baptist Odama said on Sunday.
The Gulu Archdiocese bishop was commissioning St. Kizito Counselling Centre in Bardege Division, Gulu Municipality.
The sh200m centre, which is the biggest in the north, was funded by the Cleveland Diocese of the US.
The diocese sponsors over 500 children in various schools in the north.

John Bosco Komakech, the centre's head, said they would conduct psychosocial counselling of the traumatised people, including children who were formerly abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army rebels.
