South Sudan Tribal Conflict - The competition of nomadic tribes for natural goods started in 2009. The conflict has resulted in thousands of victims and hundreds of thousands of people who have left their place of residence.

The basis of the conflict of nomadic tribes was primarily the desire to seize lands with limited natural resources, having drinking water, fertile pastures, in the face of shrinking lands. In addition, the fighting areas were affected by drought. Hostile tribes also carried out plunder attacks in order to seize animals, e.g. cattle. Another reason was ethnic disputes.

 Moreover, South Sudan is a very unstable country due to the effects of the civil war.
