TupacLaaWol_WarInMalakal

War started in Juba on December 15, 2013. It reached Malakal on 24 of the same month. In Malakal, pro and anti-government forces clashed at SPLA barracks, the airport, and key locations in town. Nuer forces, who defected from the SPLA, held the town for two days. During the two days fighting, stray bullets killed many innocent civilians. The government recaptured the town on December 27, 2013. Many people fled the town when they heard that the Nuers were coming back in big numbers. They attached the town on February 18, 2014. This time, they killed those who were not Nuers: those who remained in their houses. They also killed those who took refuge in hospitals and in churches. Dogs and donkeys were eating people.
