Story summary
At least 26 people were killed and 82 others injured on September 17, following tribal clashes between members of the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya tribes at the Amiet Common Market in Abyei town, South Sudan. The violence was triggered by the initial killings of two men from both tribes earlier that week. Abyei is an oil-rich region disputed by both South Sudan and Sudan since South Sudan gained independence in 2011. To stabilize the situation, the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) increased its security presence and deployed additional forces around the market area. The Ngok Dinka and Misseriya tribes have a history of conflict over grazing lands and water points, leading to previous deadly clashes in the region.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
