Monday Morning: Government Forces and Cattle Keepers

monday morning: Soldiers from South Sudan's army on Monday morning singled out civilians of the Fertit and Luo ethnic groups in retaliation for a rebel attack on government forces, residents said, according to Metro News. They killed children, students going to school. U.N. officials have repeatedly warned that South Sudan is at risk of genocide. When they find anyone in the road they kill them, said one resident of Wau, who insisted on anonymity for fear of reprisal. Another resident said he knew of two separate families who had been killed in their homes. The government forces co-ordinated with cattle keepers of the Dinka tribe to go house to house in search of civilians of the other ethnic groups, attacking them with guns and machetes, he said.
