Fighting between armed groups in South Sudan this year has subjected civilians to 'unimaginable violence' that could amount to war crimes, Amnesty International says
Fighting between armed groups aligned with government and opposition forces in South Sudan this year has subjected civilians to "unimaginable violence" that could amount to war crimes.
The clashes around Tambura county split along ethnic lines after politicians stirred local grievances and encouraged young people to take up arms. "That the attacks not only involved local groups, but also fighters affiliated to government and opposition forces, indicates this is much more than inter-communal violence."South Sudan attained independence in 2011 but plunged into a brutal civil war two years later that killed nearly 400,000 people and forced millions to flee.
But the process has stalled and distrust is deepening between President Salva Kiir and his deputy, former rebel leader, Riek Machar.

More than 5,600 of the new 7,175 cases were reported in Seoul and the nearby metropolitan region, where a delta-driven surge has led to a shortage of hospital beds and strained an already depleted health care workforce. The 840 patients in serious or critical conditions were an all-time high, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said.
