Heavy fighting in South Sudan risks return to civil war


A wreckage of a Sudan People's Liberation Movement armored personnel carriers (APC) is seen abandoned after it was destroyed in renewed fighting in Juba, South Sudan, July 11, 2016. South Sudanese policemen and soldiers stand guard along a street following renewed fighting in South Sudan's capital Juba, July 10, 2016. Heavy fighting involving tanks and helicopters raged in South Sudan on Monday between troops loyal to the president and those backing the vice president, risking a return to civil war and further instability in a turbulent and poor region of Africa. The civil war that erupted in December 2013 came a few months after Kiir sacked Machar as his deputy. The fighting broke out last week as the world's newest nation prepared to mark five years of independence from Sudan at the weekend.
