Riots in South Sudan leave 16 Sudanese dead
At least 16 Sudanese nationals were killed in riots that erupted in South Sudan last week, according to the South Sudanese police. The protests were triggered by reports of the killings of South Sudanese citizens in El Gezira, Sudan, allegedly carried out by the General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army forces and allied groups. Human rights groups have accused the Burhan’s army and its allies of targeting civilians based on ethnicity. In response to the escalating violence, the South Sudanese government imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew, which remains in effect. The South Sudanese police have arrested 24 suspects in connection with the riots and are conducting further investigations. This incident highlights the regional impact of the ongoing conflict in Sudan, which has led to significant displacement and heightened tensions across the border.
