Baidit attack by cattle raiders from Pibor. 23-Jan-2022

On 23 January, 2022, Baidit (Angakuei) was attacked by cattle raiders from Pibor county. These bad elements came in the afternoon from different direction and storm the village with machine guns and light. They raided thousand of cattle and attack left 32 people dead, including women and children. It was unprovoked attack and it left many people shocked in Jonglei State and in South Sudan as a whole. This is another kind of conflict along side the on going political violence that needs to be addressed too. Cattle raiding in a common practice among cattle keeping communities in South Sudan, but should be brought to end to experience peace again in the land. I work for peace and hope if we work collectively, it can become history.
