169 Killed in South Sudan Village Raid
South Sudanese insurgents raided Abiemnom village in Ruweng Administrative Area on Sunday, killing at least 169 people including 90 civilians, women and children, plus dozens of combatants, local official reported Monday. The assault by White Army militia and SPLM-IO forces linked to Riek Machar displaced 1,000 to UNMISS base amid escalating violence threatening civil war, with UNMISS urging immediate dialogue. Machar's group denied involvement while under house arrest in Juba after removal as vice president.
