BBC Article on Warlord Gadet

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13977178

Continued prayers are much appreciated. The above is a very good article on Gadet. His base in Mayom County is just over the border from our County's grazing lands and his attacks killed over a hundred people from our Apuk Dinka last month. Many children at Marol lost brothers and uncles. If you listen carefully to some of the lyrics on the video, in Nuer (not so dissimilar from Dinka) they sing, "we will go to Yiikador". Yiikador is the neighbouring, market village to Marol, less than an hour's walk. In fact, they run into each other.

However, God is big enough to keep us safe. Plus, at the moment, the river is flooded north of Yiikador and Marol meaning that it would be very, very hard for them to reach it, especially at this time of year. They have not done it since the height of the civil war in the 1980s and 1990s.
