Ethnic cleansing in Abyei area

As has been reported, this week, Abyei town was attacked and seized by the Khartoum ( north) regime. While traumatized families flee ever further from Abyei town, the Northern regime is bringing some fifteen thousands of Arab nomads into the Abyei area. An unnamed United Nations official told the New York Times the attack of Abyei " was planned as ethnic cleansing strategy" displacing the Ngok Dinka ( southern Christians who have resided in Abyei for centuries) and bringing in the Misseriya, an Arab tribe from the north.
" the north has begun to employ the same kind of scorched earth tactics we saw Khartoum use in Darfur" Eliza Griswold told the New York Times.
