8 killed, 14 wounded in renewed Tonj fighting
Authorities in the now-defunct Tonj State say eight people were killed and 14 others wounded in two separate intercommunal clashes between 2nd and 3rd February.
The fighting was between the warring communities of the Luachjang from Tonj East County and their neighboring Lou community from Tonj North County.
Angelo Dut, the Executive Director of defunct Lou Paher County, said the fighting was triggered by revenge and counter-raiding attacks and attributed the latest clashes to the arrival of cattle of Mayen Kuol Riak to the Lou area. 
Colonel Mayen Kuol is an SSPDF deserter from the Luachjang community and is reported to be commanding a huge number of armed youth.
