Residents of the Judea Lyaboloma Constituency held a demonstration against attempts to secede the Zambezi Region as well as cases of tribalism in the region.

Another such demonstration was held recently by the Bukalo Traditional Authority.

Reading the petition, the group spokesperson, Boniface Makumbi, warned against division and a repeat of secession attempts in the region.

"We want peace, unity, stability, and development, not war. We emerged from a bitter liberation war, and the consequences were death and displacement. We don't want to be refugees."
