The Commission received credible information that between December 2018 and May 2019 the border area between Unity and Warrap states was marked by a high number of attacks and counter-attacks between Bul Nuer from Mayom (Unity) on one side, and Dinka from Tonj and Twic (Warrap) on the other. 167 The attacks resulted in hundreds of civilian casualties and thousands of cattle looted by both sides.168 27. One of the deadliest attacks was launched by Dinka from Luoch and Low (Warrap) on a cattle camp in Load (Mayom County) in mid-January 2019,169 which killed and injured hundreds of civilians170 including dozens of women, children and infants. 171 While some attackers wore civilian clothes, others were dressed in Tiger Battalion uniforms or SPLA uniforms including at least two persons with 3 stars, two persons with 2 stars and one person with one star on the shoulder boards.172 Civilian cattle raiders were supported by military [SSPDF forces]173 and reportedly received their orders from a high-ranking Government official.174 One victim stated to the Commission “My father and my three sisters were killed at 4.00 a.m. I was in the cattle camp in Load when it happened . . . A lot of people were killed, around 270 people, in Load . . . Among the 270 were women and small children, even babies. They took the cattle. They [the State Government of Tonj] were launching this attack because of tribal conflict between the Nuer and Dinka . . . I was also injured in the attack by bullet, it is still inside [my shoulder]. I asked the Governor of Northern Liech State for money for the treatment, but he does not give me money because I am with the opposition.”175 28.
