Smoked fish traders march to Soroti City Council over alleged assault and confiscation by soldiers

Women who sell smoked fish in Soroti City marched to the City Council headquarters to protest what they said was the assault of traders and the confiscation of their fish and money by soldiers during an enforcement operation. The officer in charge of operations at Soroti Central Police Station apologised and asked traders to identify those responsible and file complaints, while the deputy mayor urged calm; the traders asked for a designated trading area.
