South Sudanese rebels and government forces fought for control of the capital of oil-rich Upper Nile state, the only region in the world’s newest nation that’s still producing crude two months after violence erupted.
Both sides claimed control of the town of Malakal after fighting started yesterday in violation of a cease-fire they signed on Jan. 23 in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
Fighting that started Dec. 15 has left thousands of people dead and forced at least 860,000 more to flee their homes, according to the United Nations. Yesterday’s clashes probably won’t derail peace talks that resumed last week, U.S. Special Envoy to Sudan and South Sudan Donald Booth said in a interview in Addis Ababa.

Hi,Read Isaih Chapter 18:1-7 and you will understand where these events will lead us too. It supposed to happen like this. God will bless South Sudan in the next few years and for many years to come and the world will take notice of this place during destruction, but the LORD Almighty will receive gifts from this land divided by rivers, from tall, smooth-skinned people, who are feared far and wide for their conquests and destruction. They will bring the gifts to the LORD Almighty in Jerusalem, the place where his name dwells.Thank you!!
