South Sudan gunmen kill 140 in raid into Ethiopia

Armed men from South Sudan have killed around 140 people and kidnapped a number of others in a cross-border raid into Ethiopia, the Ethiopian government said Sunday. The Murle, a tribe from South Sudan based in the eastern Jonglei region, often stage raids to steal cattle. The western Ethiopian region of Gambella, which borders South Sudan, is also home to some 272,000 South Sudanese refugees who have fled the civil war that erupted in their country in December 2013.
