46 People Killed in Cattle Raid in South Sudan

South Sudan, although it is a new country and violence was sought to be diminished in this war torn area it clearly is not. The sheer fact that people are being killed in raids or cattle is a clear indication of this. The vast majority of people in both Sudan and South Sudan live an agricultural life where their live stock and crop are are their livelihood. It makes sense therefore that violence such as this still exists, but what is even more worrying is that the violence seen in these crop raids is linked and tied to racial and tribal differences in this area. The split that the country faced was intended to try and quell these problems, but as of now this is not the case. Hopefully, the future will lead to more peaceful times.
