More than 200 dead in South Sudan ‘massacre’: officials








More than 200 dead in south Sudan 'Massacre": Officials: Jeremy Clarke, the Toronto star


Attacks by a renegade militia in Sudan's southern state of Jonglei, left 211 people dead. This violence has brought back concerns of security in the underdeveloped region, where last month an overpowering vote to declare independence from the north took place. South Sudan’s army said forces loyal to George Athor, a former army officer. This is said even after he launched a series of attacks on Jonglei last week. Two million people were killed and four million fled during the civil war fought over ideology, oil, ethnicity and religion. The fighting also set southern tribe against southern tribe, with the north backing militias from rival ethnic groups.

I find this very strange and there must be part of the story missing. I don't see how they can be loyal to him after he set a series of attacks. Besides that, I feel terrible about the number of people, many innocent and have nothing to do with it. What do you think will happen with this war?
