THE Jumma people in Ruma have boycotted a meeting called by army today, sources have said.<\/p>\n

Lt. Col. Imtiaz, commander of Ruma zone, called the meeting today, Monday, at 10am at Ruma High School ground.<\/p>\n

Mr. Imtiaz was posted to Ruma garrison from Baghaichari zone last year. He was the mastermind behind the 19 \u2013 20 April 2010 Sajek attacks which left 4 innocent Jumma villagers dead and nearly 500 houses burnt.<\/p>\n

Today is market day for Ruma bazaar. Hundreds of Jumma people from all corners of the area thronged the market, but none attended the meeting.<\/p>\n

The army invited the Jummas to the meeting with loud speakers and set tables and chairs on the school ground.<\/p>\n

But as no Jumma attended the meeting, the army called off the meeting and left the venue at 11am.<\/p>\n

The army is reportedly set 11 May for the next meeting.<\/p>\n

It is not known why the today\u2019s meeting was called, however, knowledgeable sources believe that it might have been a reaction to a \u2018Long March\u2019 organized by Ruma people on 3 May in protest against a land acquisition plan of the government to expand Ruma garrison and build a new BGB headquarters in Ruma.<\/p>\n

If the acquisition goes as planned, it would displace thousands of Jumma people, mostly people from Mro community, and destroy the natural environment of the area.<\/p>\n

The UPDF has hailed the decision of the Ruma people to boycott the meeting, saying this symbolic protest would send a strong signal to the army and the government.<\/p>\n

It urged the people to continue the movement until victory is won.
