The massacre[1] was carried out mostly by Nuer fighters from SPLA-Nasir, led by Riek Machar, and the militant group known as the Nuer White Army, shortly after Machar split off from the SPLA led by John Garang.
[2][3] Amnesty International said at least 2,000 Dinka were killed, though the real number may have been higher.
[4] In the years which followed, an estimated 25,000[5] more died from famine as their cattle were either stolen or shot and the fighting had displaced them from the land they had once cultivated.
[6] At the time, Riek Machar described the incident as "propaganda" and "myth".
