They crammed inside as rebel forces in South Sudan took control of the town from government troops. But it wasn't safe. Robbers grabbed their cash and mobile phones. Then gunmen came and opened fire on everyone, young and old.View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The U.N. hasn't spelled out clearly who exactly the victims were, but it is likely that ethnic Dinkas were among the dead. If you were not Nuer, then nothing could save you. And even Nuers who refused to take part in the attacks were killed, according to the U.N., as were former residents of the Darfur region of Sudan. According to the sources I read, neither of the two ethnicities are identified as either Muslim or Christian, but rather follow their own religions (animistic in nature but with a deity figure). The two have been having conflicts with each other for a long time, and it isn't the first time the Nuer massacred Dinkas. Dear Lord, intervene! Bring Your Gospel and pour out Your Spirit upon these people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
