A young girl from the Nuer tribe in South Sudan stands on February 21, 2014 outside a makeshift compound demarcated using palm fronds that also serves as their shelter on one of the islands in the Sudd swamplands in Unity state, central South Sudan. Thousands of Nuer tribes people are believed to have fled into the swamplands around Nyal district after around 1,200 soldiers and a small army of young men swarmed, on February 7, Panyijiar county to carry out a killing, looting and razing spree that left 60 dead and 26 wounded. In Panyjiar, an overwhelmingly Nuer area bordered by a Dinka majority, the only place to hide is the swamp, after a power struggle between leaders in the new nation's capital Juba in mid-December revived old ethnic tensions between South Sudan's largest Dinka tribe and secondary Nuer tribe.
