    At least 58 killed, 100s wounded in South Sudan attack on UN base


    Volatile ... Members of the White Army, a South Sudanese anti-government militia, attend a rally in Nasir on April 14, 2014.

    Juba: The United Nations said on Friday at least 58 people were killed and more than 100 others wounded in an attack against one of its bases in South Sudan sheltering thousands of civilians.

    The top UN official in the war-torn nation, Toby Lanzer, praised peacekeepers from India, Nepal and South Korea for preventing what could have been a massacre of up to 5000 people, and vowed the world body would use "lethal force" again to protect civilians under their protection.

    "We will do everything necessary to protect the lives of people in our protection, including the use of lethal force," Lanzer said.  In the clearest account yet of Thursday's incident in the government-controlled town of Bor, Lanzer described how a group of around 350 armed youths in civilian clothes "used extremely violent force to breach the perimeter" of the UN base.

    He said they opened fire on terrified civilians, who have sought shelter with the UN from a wave of ethnic violence, with the apparent aim of killing as many people as possible. "When we realised we were under attack we responded... the quick actions of the peacekeepers saved lives," Lanzer said. "Forty-eight bodies, including children, women, men, have been recovered from inside the base. The bodies of 10 attackers have been found outside the base. The total death toll is 58, but that could increase as over 100 people were wounded, some of them very seriously," he said.


    i just don't get it.,  South Sudan came out of   Sudan in 2011 after a long and bloody civil war to become the world's newest state.  Now it has Members of the White Army,.. well tribal wars will not stop  even in 2014...  Education.... education and more education that is what we need....
    Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything   
    I renounced my faith to become a kafir, 
    the beloved betrayed me and turned in to  a Muslim
