Renewed Violence Erupts In South Sudan Capital

Gunfire has been heard again in the South Sudanese capital, Juba, days after clashes broke out between government and rebel troops.
The violence is yet another blow to the country’s shaky 2015 peace deal.
Following a day of calm on Saturday, fighting raged in several neighborhoods in Juba on Sunday as former rebels and government soldiers exchanged fire on the outskirts of the South Sudanese capital.
Residents reportedly fled as violence escalated with the use of mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and heavy ground assault weaponry.
A spokesman for former rebel leader-turned-vice president Riek Machar blamed government troops for the violence.
