Kuajok — At least three people have been killed and six others injured following a deadly cattle raid on Thursday in Twic County of Warrap State in South Sudan, official said.

John Mabior, Acting Commissioner of Twic County, told Sudans Post on Friday that the incident occurred at 11 AM on Thursday when suspected armed youth from Mayom County of Unity State attacked cattle camps at Kuec-Amuool and raided hundreds of cows.

“This came from the side of Mayom County in the wee hours of Thursday. They attacked herders and made it away with the cattle towards Unity State,” said Mabior.

Mabior revealed that undisclosed number of cows were raided by the raiders who attacked three cattle camps in Turalei Payam Twi County.

He claimed young people from Twic County pursued the assailants to retrieve the stolen cows.

“Attempts were made by the rescuers, but they could not get most of the cattle back. As three casualties were incurred during the clash, and still the boys could not retrieve back the cows in large numbers.”

He emphasized the necessity of starting a peace discussion between communities in order to restore peace and stability.

Attempts to reach out to the Mayom County authorities for comment were unsuccessful.  Sudans Post
