This paper aims to practice history from below concerning the disarmament of the pastoral communities of north-eastern Uganda, the Karimojong and the Dodoth. The central government is a major source of so-called illegally transferred guns for East African pastoralists, and state violence has awoken the memories of local residents in terms of their experiences with violence. In the disarmament of the twenty-first century, newly purchased guns are being submitted to the military in order to emancipate captive pastoralists who were taken to and detained in military barracks. Those who will be exchanged for these guns are represented by the pastoralists as homologous with nineteenth century slaves who were caught by outsiders engaged in ivory trade when guns were brought into the Karamoja region. The ritual healing of violence-related illnesses requires a shared history of state violence to make people realize that those who rule always exercise violence against those being ruled and how people have lived as cultural existence. This past reconstruction is currently present and is a process of interweaving personal memories into collective memories. The history of arms transfer and the state control of north-eastern Ugandan pastoralists is the past facts selected trough problem consciousness directed at external violent rule. It is also a composition of facts and current history in the sense of Croce’s historical thought and is a history lived with the body.
