TheThuri,also known asShatt,[2][2]andLuo peopleofSouth Sudan.[1]They speakDheThuri,aLuo language[1]that is similar to theJurandDinka languages.[2]Having been perceived as close to theDinka people,the Thuri were targets of ethnic violence during theSecond Sudanese Civil War,when the "Army of Peace",a mostlyFertitpro-government militia, attacked them as supporters of the mostly DinkaSPLArebels. This caused many Thuri to take up arms and to join the SPLA in order to take revenge against other Fertit groups.[2]
