  Murle communities in late February, in which hundreds of people were killed and 
  
  injured, numerous women and children abducted, cattle looted and thousands of 
  
  civilians displaced. The process of the return of the abductees was facilitated by 
  
  UNMISS through local peace engagements, including intra-Lou Nuer and Murle 
  
  dialogues, virtual meetings between leaders and proactive deployment of pat rols to 
  
  hotspots. The COVID-19 prevention measures restricting movement and public 
  
  gatherings have delayed the process of identifying and assembling the abducted 
  
  Murle. Planned consultative peace meetings of Murle youth facilitated by UNMISS

  a coordinated attack against Lou Nuer communities, targeting over a dozen villages 
  
  in Uror county. The ensuing fight between the two sides resulted in the killing of 
  
  hundreds of people and the displacement of thousands of civilians.
