However, the second outbreak of conflict in 2016 had a big effect on the County. The county has seen a lot of people move away and feel unsafe, which has made it hard for people to make a living there. 


People who had to leave Kajo-Keji mostly went to Uganda. Before 2016, there were always fights between different groups, and it wasn't always clear why. 


Due to a lack of police resources and good legal infrastructure, it has been hard to solve problems through the legal system.
