 All land-guard activities should cease henceforth. 

These decisions have been taken considering the fact that the situation has become a recipe for disaster and a cause for security concern in the region.

Interpreting the courts decisions 

Determining the actual owners of the land
Once again, we are doing this to ensure there is no breach of the peace in the entire area in dispute and region as a whole.

We therefore appeal to the Media to be circumspect in their reportage in order not to inflame passions that might undermine the security of the area.
