32 killed in clashes in Abyei near South Sudan

JUBA:At least 32 people,including children and women were killed Sunday in deadly communal fighting along South Sudan's border with the disputed Abyei Administrative Area, according to reports.

Reports said, the violence erupted early morning following a revenge attack on Ngok Dinka in Wuncuei and Nyiel areas of Abyei Administrative Area by armed youth from Twic County of neighboring Warrap state, South Sudan.

The attackers who came from the Ajak-Kuach area were reportedly aided by suspected soldiers of the South Sudan People's Defense Forces (SSPDF).

Reports said that some of the attackers were seen by residents clad in the South Sudan People's Defense Forces uniforms.

The latest revenge attack comes after last week's clashes in the Ayuok area between the two sides, which left 34 people killed, including one SSPDF soldier. The two communities have been contesting for years the ownership of a strip of land in the Aneet border area, which separates the two communities.
