Warlords and their gunmen have forcibly distributed people's lands among themselves and do not allow anyone to grass their animals there. They are frequently building their luxury houses over the lands that belong to people of Arab minority group. In the past 2 years they have killed a number of shepherds who did not obey their order. Following the killing of Sheren Agha, Arab people staged a demonstration to protest the killings and occupying of their land by warlords. They took the death body of Sheren Agha to the offices of UNAMA, Independent commission of Human Rights and other government bodies and accused government of not taking notice of such issues.
