在过去三十年里，乌干达北部游牧部落曾经适应的“武力夺取”(抢牛)做法已转变为部落内部持续不断的暴力冲突，有可能摧毁卡里莫容人及其生活方式。这篇文章认为，除了难以解决的冲突的典型根源外，自动武器的大规模涌入不仅造成了社区的不稳定，还导致了文化规范的转变。几种文化规范现在使冲突永久化，导致更难处理。
Over the past three decades, the once-adaptive practice of "taking by force" (cattle raiding) by pastoralist tribes in Northern Uganda has been transformed into a violent, ongoing intractable conflict within the tribes that threatens to destroy the Karimojong people and their way of life. This article suggests that in addition to the typical sources of intractable conflict, a massive influx of automatic weapons not only created instability in the community but also led to a shift in cultural norms. Several cultural norms now perpetuate the conflict, leading to increased intractability.
