JUBA. — Rebels in South Sudan rejected UN reports they had massacred hundreds of civilians as “lies” yesterday, as they wrested another town from government troops in a worsening civil war.
The rebels seized the town of Bentiu last week, unleashing two days of ethnic slaughter as they hunted down civilians sheltering in mosques, churches and a hospital, butchering dozens on the roadside, according to the United Nations.
But rebel spokesman Lul Ruai Koang praised the “gallant forces” of the insurgents, who the UN said took to the radio to urge men to rape women from the opposition ethnic group and drive out rivals from the town. — AFP.
