At the evening of December 15th 2013, war began in the infant state of South Sudan, after President Salva Kiir ordered the Sudanese People Liberation Movement Major General Marial Ciennoung - the commander of the Presidential Guard known as
The
Tiger Battalion to go to the barracks and disarm all troops. "After disarming all ethnicities within the guard,
Marial ordered that the Dinka members be re-armed
. His deputy, from the Nuer ethnicity, began to question this order and a fight ensued when
surrounding officers saw the commotion. The Nuer soldiers also re-armed
themselves.
Fighting erupted between the Dinka elements of the Presidential Guard
and the Nuer elements. This lasted from Sunday night until Monday
afternoon. Civilian casualties began when the Dinka elements of the SPLM
began targeting Nuer civilians in the capital city of Juba." Wikipedia.
The fighting is still going on and it has left thousands dead.
