The United Nations has expressed deep concern following another massacre in South Sudan, in which at least 169 people were killed and buried in a mass grave. Local officials have attributed the weekend attacks to intercommunal violence, which come amid growing political instability in the country.
At least 169 people were killed in Abiemnhom, in the Ruweng administrative zone bordering Sudan, according to local authorities, who emphasised that this toll is still provisional.
