Farmers in Heiban County of Nuba Mountains are advising pastoralists to keep cattle away from gardens while people harvest crops.
Amal Bolis criticizes cattle-keepers for their violent activities after many incidents of pastoralists releasing their cattle into farms, Radio Voice of Peace reports.
She says some pastoralists open a garden fence for animals and threaten the owner should they try to resist.
Ms Bolis, points out that failure of authorities to charge culprits has caused farmers to mess up in the community.
She regrets that the law has failed to protect people and that a sick person admitted should forget their food in the garden as it could be already finished by cattle.
Abdelnur Daldum Albino warns that the behavior of cattle keepers was an issue that needs serious attention.
The farmer instructs cattle keepers to keep animals away from farms for peace to prevail between them and the community.
