South Sudan\u2019s army spokesman told Quartz he cannot confirm any children are saved.<br \/>\nThis isn\u2019t the first time neighboring countries or armed groups have infiltrated South Sudan to apparently capitalize on its civil war.<br \/>\nLast year, Uganda\u2019s army entered the disputed Magwi area, while Kenyan soldiers pushed north to South Sudan\u2019s Nadapal settlement near an oil-rich area.<br \/>\nSudan to the north has also applied pressure by halting trade across its border to landlocked South Sudan while allegedly carrying out aerial bombings on South Sudanese territory in March.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, the Lord\u2019s Resistance Army rebels of Joseph Kony reportedly entered South Sudan\u2019s Raja County in the northwest this year after being based in nearby Sudan and Central African Republic.<br \/>\nDeadly cattle raids are common along the South Sudan-Ethiopia border often including abductions of children and women as wives or to care for stolen cattle.<br \/>\nSign up for the Quartz Africa Weekly Brief \u2014 the most important and interesting news from across the continent, in your inbox.<br \/>\nMOST POPULAR<br \/>\nAcademia is quietly and systematically keeping its women from succeeding<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/qz.com\/677547\">Ethiopia&#8217;s army has entered South Sudan in search of 100 kidnapped children<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Ethiopia\u2019s army entered South Sudan this week to search for over 100 children abducted by a South Sudanese militia during a cross-border cattle raid last month.
