Juba: At least five South Sudanese soldiers were killed in the country's capital, a government army officer said on Friday, as a clash between rival factions stoked tensions in a nation trying to recover from more than two years of conflict.
Gunfire erupted late on Thursday in the Gudele district of Juba, apparently in a confrontation between members of the country's main political-military factions, the SPLA and the SPLA-IO. The capital was calm on Friday.
