Juba (Sudan) (Reuters) At least 23 militants were killed Saturday during a clash with soldiers in southern Sudan in the capital of Upper Nile State, Malakal, as reported by the Army sursudanés. Militants attacked before dawn Malakal, which led to a firefight between guerrillas and soldiers. Philip Aguer military spokesman said that "23 bodies have been recovered from the attackers," and one of them was "captured alive." Moreover, according to Aguer, the clash also left civilian casualties, but could not specify the amount.
The event represents a new episode in the violence raging for weeks in Southern Sudan, which in July will become a new country after confirming in a referendum on independence from Khartoum. Fighting between troops and militia have increased doubts about the stability of the region so far.
