Tribal attacks continue in Bor, Southern Sudan

From Carol Pecora, Hope With Sudan:
Lost Boys of Sudan, living in San Jose continue to lose family members in tribal massacres taking place today. Gabriel Makuei Tor lost his older brother last week in the raid mentioned below. Two weeks ago, James Majork Deng and Simon Kuri Deng lost their uncle in a similar raid. Peter Nyok's aunt who raised him was killed on Palm Sunday.

It is reported that a militia of over 500 had been deployed by the Khartoum Government to destabilize Jonglei State because of the leadership they represent in opposing the Government and moving forward with plans of the election in 2011 which will divide Sudan. He said that the militia attached the church compound where Archdeacon Joseph Garang and other church leaders were sleeping. The archdeacon, who is the administrator for Mark, was killed. Those who were wounded were transported to Juba but many of them died on the way.
