From blog post, November 2013. Full post here: http://invisiblechildren.com/blog/2013/11/27/south-sudan-attacks-update-from-ezo/
Just a couple weeks ago we received reports of the first LRA attack in South Sudan in over two years. It is troubling to see such disturbances in a region that had been relatively safe from LRA violence for so long. Shortly after the receiving these reports, we traveled to Ezo, the community that was attacked, to get the on-the-ground update of what happened that night and in the aftermath of the violence. Here’s what we found.
Ezo is in West Equatoria, South Sudan but sits right on the border of CAR and DRC, both of which lack the local defense groups that have kept South Sudan relatively safe for the past couple years. Border towns in South Sudan are historically more susceptible to LRA attacks given the lack of security in neighboring countries.
