Criminal gangs from the neighboring Lake State are suspected to have raided nine villages taking 3150 cows and abducting seven children on from Unity state, according to a southern official. The raid began at 4pm in Pulmok - Pachar Payam in Payinjiar County - and left a cattle owner seriously wounded according to the county commissioner Col Peter Gai Joak. Jaok told Sudan Tribune that the incident occurred after the southern Sudanese army - former rebels who now govern the autonomous region after a 2005 peace deal - the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) mounted an operation to disarm civilians. |
