VOA: Peace Efforts in Tatters, South Sudan Sees New Fighting
With peace efforts in South Sudan in tatters, fighting resumed in parts of the country between government troops and rebel forces, a South Sudanese military spokesman said Wednesday.
International frustration is mounting after South Sudan President Salva Kiir refused to sign a power-sharing deal with rebels on Monday, with the U.S. pushing on Tuesday for U.N. sanctions against the government.
South Sudan military spokesman Colonel Philip Aguer said fighting broke out Wednesday in the oil-producing Upper Nile state, close to the border with Sudan, with rebels trying to take areas controlled by government troops.
