Dinka-Nuer conflict

The Dinka and Nuer are the two largest ethnic groups in South Sudan. Conflict over pastures and cattle raids has been happening between these two ethnic groups as they battle for grazing their animals. In 1983, there was a civil war between Southern and Northern Sudan, and Southern Sudan was forced into the lower region, where there was less resources. These actions created conflict between the Dinka and Nuer people in South Sudan.
