U.N.: S. Sudan Troops Kill, Rape, Torture Civilians
[An Nahar] South Sudanese soldiers have killed, raped and tortured civilians in the troubled eastern state of Jonglei, threatening to derail already fragile peace efforts there, the United Nations warned Friday.

"The majority of the victims are women, and in some cases children," the U.N. peacekeeping mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) said in a statement, calling for "immediate action to safeguard recent gains in the peace process".

The United Nations "is wringing its hands concerned by the recent increase in serious human rights violations allegedly committed by some undisciplined elements within the South Sudanese Army," it added.
