Lara-Tam-Nhialdiu-Leel

December 2002 – January 2003

Many thousands of civilians forcibly displaced from their villages by attacks in the areas Lara-Tam-Nhialdiu-Leel. Conditions are equally bad along the new Bentiu-Adok main road where most villages are now empty or destroyed altogether. The CPMT concluded that the depopulation was accompanied by multiple rapes of captured women, torture, disfigurations and murders.
