Inter-communal clashes kill 90 people in South Sudan
2015-10-15
[AA.TR] Death toll from inter-communal festivities between rival communities in South Sudan's Warrap State over a land dispute has now reached at least 90, a local official said Wednesday.

The festivities began on Friday afternoon over a disputed land between Luacjang and Ananatak, and lasted until the army and state authorities intervened Tuesday, County Commissioner Biar Biar Mawien told Anadolu Agency via phone.

"The governor's driver was killed with other 90 people and his executive vehicle belonging to the state house too has been smashed," the commissioner said, adding that 144 others were also injured.

Warrap State caretaker Governor Akec Tong Aleu also confirmed that the festivities between the two communities had ended.
