 At Least 25 Dead in South Sudan Land Dispute Violence

Officials in South Sudan have confirmed at least 25 people have died in clashes between the Twic and Abyei communities on the border with Sudan, including two women and a child.

The dispute arose over disagreements on the demarcation of their respective areas, and follows clashes in February this year when more deaths occurred as buildings were burnt to the ground.
