Every 21 Sept, the Matheniko (Moroto) and Turkana (Kenya) people commemorate the Lokiama Peace Accord, when they vowed never to turn their spears or guns on each other, by symbolically burying the hatchet in Lokiriama, Kenya - a model for conflict management using traditional institutions of governance. This year’s theme is that of the UN International Day of Peace: “Fit for the future: building together”. The event is coordinated by members of the IYRP alliance in Karamoja, Uganda, in support of IYRP 2026.
