On Dec. 18, looters attacked Itang Catholic Mission in Ethiopia. The incident is a casualty of the longstanding conflict between the Anyuak and Nuer tribes. At dawn, starting at 5:30 a.m., members of the Nuer tribe took over the parish and used it as a base to attack the Anyuak people. At 8 a.m., large groups of the Nuer tribe arrived in 20 dump trucks, carrying pickaxes and metal bars. They assailed the priest’s home and church, trashing each building and stealing valuables until one priest said that “not even a teaspoon [was] left in the house.”
