Dozens killed in violence in disputed South Sudan region
2022-03-11


Several dozen people have been killed in a spasm of intercommunal violence in a disputed area of South Sudan, the UN’s emergency response agency OCHA and a local official said Wednesday.

OCHA said the fighting in the oil-rich Abyei area on the border with Sudan had left 36 people killed as of March 6, with an unknown number injured and reportedly 50,000 displaced.

“Intercommunal tensions increased in recent weeks in the Abyei Administrative Area (AAA), allegedly driven by longstanding territorial disputes, inter-tribal tensions and revenge seeking,” the agency said in a statement.

#1  Sadly, inter- and intra-communal violence is what they do in that part of the world, which is why Muslim Sudan dominates them so effectively. As far as I can tell, South Sudan is worse than Nigeria for this kind of thing
