The recent decision by the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of South Sudan to ban the use of motorcycles by foreign riders as commercial taxis known as Boda Boda has riled up the Ugandan workers in South Sudan who were victims of that decision. The events that followed, i.e. the departure of some of these workers and the way they reported being treated along the way, have also greatly angered some opposition lawmakers and government officials in Kampala, calling for mass expulsion of South Sudanese from Uganda and the termination of trade between the two countries. These decisions and events have also frightened a lot of South Sudanese families who have children and loved ones living in Uganda, as many incidents of attack on South Sudanese by Boda Boda riders in Kampala have been reported. The Sudd Institute has keenly followed these developments in hope of being able to contextualize them as a way to caution both sides against the hazards of hasty action, and to point out areas of mutual understanding, by clarifying the real situation and reminding both sides of longstanding political, social, and economic bonds between the two states. Further, the brief discusses possible, yet more normative paradigms of responding to matters of bilateral importance without generating serious misunderstandings in the process.
