Comment on Activity: The conflict between the Anuak and the Dinka took place in Fugnido refugee camp in Gambella region, south-western Ethiopia. Located close to the Sudanese border, Fugnito is the largest camp for Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia. It provides food and shelter for some 28 700 people, half of which are Nuers, a third Anuaks and around 11 per cent Dinkas. The camp is unfenced and weapons are readily available, mainly from across the border. According to analysts, there had been inter-ethnic tensions simmering earlier during the year. Furthermore, Dinka refugees are reported to have some affiliations with the Sudanese SPLA, which is said to be fuelling the conflict.
