Tribal Violence rocks Jonglei again: Where's the GOSS or UNMIS?

JUBA, Sudan, April 20 (Reuters) -

More than 170 people were killed in attacks on Lou Nuer villages by rival Murle tribesmen in southern Sudan this weekend, a government official said on Monday. "By 4pm yesterday 177 dead bodies had already been found by our team," Akobo county commissioner Doyak Chol said.

"We are expecting more than 300 by the time all the places have been checked." A cycle of cattle raiding and counter-attacks in southern Sudan have plagued the oil-rich region since a peace accord in 2005 between the north and south peace ended one of Africa's longest running conflicts. Jonglei state has been hit hard by cattle raiding and associated killings that have fractured communities along ethnic lines. In March at least 453 people, mainly women and children, were killed in Lou Nuer attacks on Murle villages which were described as 'organized genocide or ethnic cleansing by an investigative team. The United Nations Mission in Sudan's (UNMIS) regional coordinator for the south, David Gressly, told Reuters that a U.N. team will travel on Tuesday to the hard-to-reach area to assess security and humanitarian needs following the violence.

(Reading from the news above, one may wonder how come Collo community is keeping silent for all this long, is it that the collo community in large don't feel the pain inflicted to their fellow brethren? And for how long will we endure such a pain? And who from the story said that Collo don't retaliate and what the name Collo is coming from anyway? Did Collo community developed an attitude of don't care and what will be the benefit of it?)
