South Sudan: Atrocities by both sides

Written by Super User 09 Jan 2014

South Sudan was founded on Christians praying for freedom from Muslim-governed North Sudan. Like the children of Israel many have forgotten the Lord since independence. The Dinka tribes are mainly Christian. Many roam the bush without the necessities of life. Thousands of Nuer people are also sleeping out in the open with little access to food or toilets. Nuer men say they are being approached by Dinka security forces who, in the Dinka language, ask questions. Those unable to respond in the Dinka language are executed. The present conflict is marked by ethnic violence between Kiir's Dinka tribe and Machar's Nuer community. Nuers worship a spirit of the sky. Over 1,000 people have been killed since December and 200,000 driven from their homes. see also France24.com
