Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Authorities in South Sudan\u2019s Kapoeta County of Eastern Equatoria state have said that death toll in last week\u2019s cattle raid has risen dramatically to at least 235 with unknown number of people having been wounded.<\/p>\n

Last week, authorities said that armed youth from neighboring Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) resulted in the killing of at least 68 people, while 15,000 herds of cattle were stolen.<\/p>\n

But now Kapoeta North County Commissioner Emmanuel Epone Lolimo says that the death toll has risen to 235 and blamed the Murle for the attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not celebrating the death, but we also blame them for coming to raid us. It has been sixteen years since we had conflict,\u201d Epone told the Eye Radio in an interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, during this incident, the death toll rose up to two hundred and thirty-five which is not good. We are not celebrating this big number. But we blame them for coming to attack us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

For his part, the deputy chief administrator of Greater Pibor Administrative Area John Abula admitted that some youth crossed to attack Eastern Equatoria state.<\/p>\n

\u201cCattle raiding always involve loss of lives, so we are not worried about that incident because they took their lives to that extent,\u201d he is quoted by Eye Radio as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we learned that there were some casualties and loss of lives also there but it is not new because they were the ones who decided to go there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
