Cattle Raider Massacre

Cattle Raiders Massacre On Friday and Saturday, the hospital in Gambela, Ethiopia experienced a massive increase in patients. On Friday, the region was struck by an attack that wounded plenty of people. The real numbers lay in the estimated 182 people killed and 104 kids kidnapped during this attack. The accusations lead to a Sudanese group called the Murle, who are mainly known for cattle robbing. Others say people from the Dinka ethnic group also assisted with the attack. The attackers were said to have surrounded the villages on Friday morning in green uniforms and shot at both men and women. Cattle and children were taken from the village.Some question if the South Sudan's government sanctioned the killings.
