South Sudan Rebels Break Ceasefire - Unmiss -- BBC
The United Nations (UN) has accused South Sudanese rebels of violating a ceasefire by launching an offensive to recapture its former headquarters.
The attack on Nasir town was the "most serious resumption of hostilities" since May, the UN said.
The rebels said they had seized the town in an act of "self-defence". The government denied the town had fallen.
Fighting between government and rebel forces broke out in December, leaving more than a million homeless.
President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar met in May and recommitted themselves to a ceasefire negotiated in January by regional leaders.

My Comment: Another broken ceasefire .... and more war. The people of South Sudan have not known peace for over 3 decades .... you would think that after so many have been killed that the fighting would eventually stop. Unfortunately ... it is only getting worse.

I was hopeful, when South Sudan broke away.
If they don't get their act together they will be under the control of the north again.
