| Description | Arab nomads have accused the south Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) of killing at least 58 people and wounding 85 others during fighting in the western region of Darfur.
Mohammed Issa Aliou said on Sunday that members of his Rezeigat tribe were searching for new pastures and water when they were attacked near the border with the semi-autonomous south on Friday.
But the south Sudanese army said on Saturday it was their forces who had been attacked in the Balballa sector of the south's Western Bahr al-Ghazal state, by men from the army of the Khartoum-based central government.
"A company of 120 SPLA soldiers was attacked on Friday night by armed men wearing uniforms of the northern army that were heavily equipped," Major General Kuol Deim Kuol of the southern former rebel SPLA said. |
