The Lainya County has been affected by the civil war between &lt;a href="Sudan%20People%27s%20Liberation%20Army/Movement"&gt;Sudanese People's Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA)&lt;/a&gt; and the National Congress Party (NCP) of the Sudanese government. Lainya had been bombed by planes and artillery of the Sudanese government against the SPLA/M rebels during the war as well as the Lord Resistance Army--LRA that has caused recruitment of child soldiers and the general displacement of the people around the County.
