Question

In 1991 when the war ‘entered a new phase' and the Dinka and Nuer started fighting each other, what was different in how they fought? What is the quote from the article that gives this information?( find evidence)

Answer 1

“The ghost of the deceased will not haunt me because I did not kill with a spear".

Step-by-step explanation:

When the war 'entered a new phase', the traditional way of fight/conflict between the Dinka and Nuer tribe completely changed. The introduction of gun and the killings within the Southerners after a split in the rebel army changed the way of fighting between the two tribes.

Children, women and elderly were started to be killed and attacked. Prior to 1991, both the tribes believed that 'causing a death created spiritual-pollution' so the number of people who were killed during wars was comparatively low. They had to go through a cleansing ritual after every killing.

However, with introduction of guns, they believed that the ghost of the deceased will not haunt them because they did not kill with a spear.
