Once displaced by terrorist attacks by the Lord's Resistance Army, Vicki Paulino and other farmers in Gangura, South Sudan, are once again farming their fields with help from Caritas, which has provided seeds, tools and technical support, and with protection from the Arrow Boys, local self-defense militia groups established to defend against LRA attacks. The LRA attacked Gangura in early March, 2015, kidnapping 13 people. The Arrow Boys eventually drove off the attackers, killing one and losing one of their own members. The farmers group is supported by the diocese of Tombura-Yambio and Caritas Austria.
