Summary

Viktor Pinchuk,  Medal "For Courage"

“ I asked an elderly Black woman who was riding next to me. "Weapons and ammunition," she replied in a calm voice, spitting seeds, "In our area, many are armed."
Before going to Kotido the capital of Karamoja region, one of the most dangerous areas of Uganda, I once again asked several aborigines how reasonable it would be to visit this area. They amicably confirmed the information I had, but they talked about it as if they did not recommend watching the movie "Friday the 13th" at night.
From the town of Lira to the village of Kotido to about 12-14 hours drive.

Viktor Pinchuk,  Medal "For Courage"

“ It turned out that the village of Karamojong people is located just one and a half kilometers from the center of civilization of the state with a bank and a post office.
After half an hour, I saw exotic-looking individuals with a burden on their heads. They were not dressed at all like the settlers of Kotido, (who sometimes even dressed in a classic suit and tie) and looked very much like the tribe I was looking for.
