Mad Cow: How bride-price inflation is stoking ethnic violence in South Sudan
Mad Cow: How bride-price inflation is stoking ethnic violence in South Sudan
April 16, 2021
Inter-tribal clashes are a major contributing factor to instability in South Sudan, so it is no surprise that an increase in violent cattle raiding has largely been attributed to the current conflict between the Dinka-dominated Sudanese People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and the Nuer Sudanese People’s Liberation Army In Opposition (SPLA-IO). Yet these raids, which have led to over 50,000 deaths since the start of the South Sudanese Civil War in December 2013, are not motivated by inter-ethnic animosity alone. In pastoral regions such as Jonglei State, they are also driven by economic factors. Specifically, enormous inflation in bride prices the payment, in heads of cattle, given by a groom to their bride’s family has rendered cattle raiding more frequent and more deadly than ever before.

UN shipping talks stalled last week as slow-moving players, including Saudi Arabia, Brazil and the US, obstructed attempts to decide how the sector should begin to decarbonise.
The negotiations, which took place at the London headquarters of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), are part of a global process on how to cut shipping’s large and growing emissions.
Setting speed limits on ships and increasing operational efficiency were just two of the 15 proposals on the table for reducing emissions in the short term, meaning before 2023.
But much of the week-long environmental protection committee talks were spent debating the order in which different proposals should eventually be discussed, with little to no progress made on which of them should actually be implemented.

An Emirati general linked to human rights abuses is unsuited to head Interpol and his possible appointment may be seen as a “reward” for donations to the agency, according to a report by the UK’s former director of public prosecutions.
The process of electing a president of Interpol, which is due to happen later this year, is “shrouded in secrecy and opaque”, Sir David Calvert-Smith wrote.
“Not only would an Emirati president of Interpol serve to validate and endorse the [United Arab Emirates’] record on human rights and criminal justice but, in addition, Maj Gen [Ahmed Naser] Al-Raisi is unsuitable for the role,” he wrote. “He sits at the very top of the Emirati criminal justice system. He has overseen an increased crackdown on dissent, continued torture, and abuses in its criminal justice system.”
