(SomaliNet) Sudanese militia will not be tolerated in the Sudan town of Malakal, Southern Sudan's President Salva Kiir said during a visit to town last week. Serious clashes between former Sudanese rebels from South and Sudan's national army left at least 150 people dead. Analysts consider this as the most serious breach of the 2005 deal to end two decades of war.
Meanwhile, United Nations peacekeepers in the Sudanese town have been helping both sides bury their dead. The UN warned over the weekend that some corpses had contaminated a portion of the Nile River and water purification tablets were being distributed.
