South Sudanese Rebel Groups Clash Near Ugandan BorderOctober 19, 2017 - South Sudanese rebel groups fought each other this week in a strategic area near the Ugandan border leaving at least three dead, reports Reuters. The clashes between the south Sudanese factions broke out on Tuesday and Wednesday in Kajo Keji between two groups: one loyal to former army general Thomas Cirillo and one loyal to former vice president Riek Machar.
