location: Yei
notes: Unknown gunmen suspected of being allied to SPLA-IO opened fire on a group of four lorries transporting about 200 passengers on the Juba-Yei road about 50 km from Yei town, leaving at least 21 members of the Dinka and Kakwa tribes killed. The incident occurred as SPLA was facilitating the repatriation of mainly Dinka communities from Yei to Juba. Following the attack, the government prevented Equatorian communities in the area from leaving Yei town through perimeter checkpoints.
