Situation Tense in South Sudan | Al Jazeera (Video)

January 2, 2012 by swilliamsjd

Thousands of villagers in South Sudan are hiding in the bush, waiting for UN and government troops to stop a tribal conflict, which officials fear may have left scores of people dead over the weekend.

Armed youths from the Lou Nuer tribe have marched on the remote town of Pibor in Jonglei state, home to the rival Murle people, who they blame for cattle raiding.

Al Jazeera’s Haru Mutasa travelled to the troubled village of Pibor in South Sudan and sent this report.
