Abstract
This research is about War Crimes and house hold income in Ogur Sub County. This area was gripped in what it was set to be until recently when a peace agreement has been negotiated between the government of Uganda and the LRA rebels. the Uganda government has been on many occasions inherently unjust, repressive and extremely violent against certain section of its citizens particularly those in Northern Uganda. This explains why a section of people took arms against it. There were diverse root causes of the conflict, which stretched deep into history of the country. This paper therefore sets out to investigate people's views to find out the War Crimes and house hold income on the people of Ogur Sub County in Lira district. Field research was carried out using interviews and questionnaires among the former combatants, Indigenous people, local councilors and district administrative officers. Women and men from the whole Sub-county between the ages of 15 and 85 were used in the research.
