南苏丹北部瓦拉布州通杰北县（Tonj North county）于周一发生一起由Lou Ariik社区针对Apuk Padoch社区发动的协调性偷牛袭击，造成至少72人遇难 1。此次暴力事件被视为两个社区之间报复性冲突循环的一部分，该地区此前已有多起类似惨剧，今年8月及3月的同类袭击分别导致至少60人和58人死亡 1。
事发后，瓦拉布州州长Angelo Ngot Mayar指示安全机构开展救援行动，要求撤离伤员并努力追回牲畜 1。这一局部暴力升级之际，南苏丹正面临定于12月举行的首次大选，联合国对此表示担忧 1。由于2018年结束的内战遗留问题以及包括副总统Riek Machar被捕软禁在内的政治僵局，该国选举进程此前已多次推迟，当前局势进一步加剧了选前紧张氛围 1。
At least 72 people were killed on Monday during co-ordinated cattle raids in Tonj North county of Warab State, South Sudan 1. The attacks involved members of the Lou Ariik community targeting the Apuk Padoch community, escalating a cycle of retaliatory violence between the two groups 1. Angelo Ngot Mayar, the Governor of Warab State, has instructed security agencies to evacuate the injured and work towards recovering the stolen livestock 1.
The surge in local violence adds pressure ahead of South Sudan’s first presidential elections, which are scheduled for December but have faced multiple delays due to civil war that ended in 2018 and ongoing political gridlock involving Vice President Riek Machar’s house arrest 1. The United Nations has expressed concern over the stability required for these upcoming polls 1. This incident follows previous deadly clashes in the same region, with at least 60 people killed in August and 58 in March 1.
