Image caption Ethiopia shares a long border with South Sudan and cross-border raids are not uncommon. South Sudanese gunmen killed 28 people and kidnapped 43 children in Ethiopia's Gambella province, an Ethiopian official says. A similar incident last April prompted Ethiopia's army to cross into South Sudan in a hunt for kidnapped children. The latest raids were carried out over two days - first on Sunday and then Monday - in Gambella's Gog and Jol areas, which border South Sudan, Chol Chany, a spokesman for the Gambella region, is quoted by Reuters as saying. Last year's incidents in which 100 Ethiopian children were kidnapped was also blamed on members of the Murle community.
