High bride prices and the inter-counties borders are the major causes for inter-communal conflicts in South Sudan.
Community Empowerment for Progressive Organization (CEPO) made a research on the causes of community conflicts, Bakhita Radio reported.It suggested the re-demarcation of existing county and payams boundaries to ease tensions.
CEPO programme coordinator Edund Yakani told journalists that young men planning to marry have to struggle to meet the high bride prices and raid neighbouring communities for cattle.
He asked the government of South Sudan to look in to the border issues saying communities along South Sudan and Sudan frontiers are being heavy armed by Khartoum.
