Mathiang Anyoor

Mathiang Anyoor, also spelled Mathiang Anyur (meaning "Brown caterpillar"), also known as Dot Ke Beny (meaning "Rescue the President") is a Dinka affiliated militia group in South Sudan. It was formed as a militia of Dinkas designed to protect President Salva Kiir and army chief Paul Malong Awan. However, the SPLA claim that it is just another battalion. Much of the ethnic violence against non-Dinkas in the South Sudanese Civil War is attributed to the militia. These include the Anti-Nuer pogroms where more than 200 people were killed in Juba in 2013, immediately after the alleged coup that started the war. Much of the ethnic violence against Equatorians around Yei after the second Juba clashes in 2016 are attributed to Mathiang Anyoor. In April 2017, Mathiang Anoor led by General Thayip Gatluakattacked Wau, targeting Jur and Fertit people, killing at least 18 people.
