South Sudan Warring Sides Break CeasefireDecember 25, 2017 - After two days of signing ceasefire deal in Ethiopia, South Sudanese factions have started fighting again, reports AFP. South Sudan's government and main rebel group accused each other of breaking a ceasefire that went into effect shortly after midnight. Army spokesman Lul Ruai Koang denied the incidents, instead accusing the rebels of "serious violations" of the ceasefire deal elsewhere in the country. "We broke through the ambush and we were able to kill five rebel fighters," he said. He also accused the rebels of attacking military police in Aweil East, in the northwest of the country.
