| 200 Dead In South Sudan Clash |
| 2012-03-13 |
| "The people killed are around 223. 150 are injured," said Jonglei state governor Kuol Manyang. "There are about 300 women and children who are thought to have been abducted." Manyang said around 100,000 cows were stolen on Friday and Saturday when cattle raiders from the Murle community in Jonglei state attacked the ethnic Lou Nuer living in neighbouring Upper Nile state. Manyang said the attacks in and around Romyieri, in Nasir territory, started at dawn on Friday. The latest attacks appear to be reprisals for a wave of ethnic violence and cattle raids in the same area in January when an 8,000-strong militia of Lou Nuer youths joined by some Dinka marched on Pibor county, razing whole Murle villages and massacring people in their wake. The UN has yet to release a death toll for that wave of attacks and a speedily produced figure from the commissioner of Pibor county of 3,000 dead remains unverified. |

| #1 Were there signs of black helicopters and South Park characters at the cattle site? Was there a green rep there counting methane particles in the air? |
