Inter-Tribal Violence, South Sudan. 2009

The Murle village of Lekwongole, which was attacked in March, 2009. The attack by Nuer tribesman left 450 dead. Unlike traditional cattle raids, the attack on Lekwongole marked an escalation in inter-tribal violence, with a well-armed, organised militia deliberately targeting women and children.
