Earlier today at least thirty-seven people were killed at what was supposed to be a peaceful resolution over a cattle dispute in South Sudan. During the meeting, four pickup turcks bearing armed men appeared and started firing upon the Mayendit County commisioners compound. The men are all to be from either SPLA or SSPS. One of the wounded was a U.N. officer, who is now in stable condition. This meeting is in response to a string of cattleraids, where one village will raid another for its cattle and kill defenssless civilians; mainly woman and children.
