Chapter 330: Rescue Operation, Begins.

When Gao Yang and his group saw the vast farmlands appearing on the grasslands, they slowed down the vehicle's speed.

The presence of large farmlands near the town suggested that the main population of this town should be the Shilluk people.

The Shilluk Tribe is the third largest ethnic group in South Sudan, primarily living in Upper Nile State, and they mainly make a living through agriculture. Therefore, the Shilluk people are settlers. The Shilluk villages attracted a small portion of the Dinka people who had no cow herds and lived by growing corn. Gradually, a multi-ethnic town formed.

An intertribal conflict could easily evolve into plundering all outsiders, but the likelihood of kidnapping hostages was very small among the Dinka, Nuer, or Shilluk people. However, the Nubians from North Sudan had a tradition of kidnapping hostages for ransom. But after the separation of North and South Sudan, the number of Nubians remaining in South Sudan was not significant.
