Fresh Fighting Hits Key South Sudan City - VOA News
December 31, 2013  

Fresh fighting has broken out in South Sudan's key city of Bor, which the country's army reclaimed from rebels last week.

The clashes Tuesday follow renewed calls by the United Nations and African Union for an immediate end to the violence.

Statements from the U.N. Security Council and the A.U.'s Peace and Security Council late Monday said dialogue should begin immediately between President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar.

The African Union also urged Mr. Kiir's government to release detained political leaders, and threatened to impose sanctions on those who continue to incite violence.

The East African bloc IGAD set a Tuesday deadline for the two sides to hold face-to-face negotiations, but there has been no indication that the deadline will be met.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni visited Mr. Kiir on Monday, and warned Machar to sign a cease-fire deal or face action from its neighbors.

The IGAD statement last week did not include a threat of force, but said the group would "consider taking further measures" if fighting continued.

南苏丹城市博尔星期二爆发新的战斗,南苏丹政府军上星期刚从反政府武装手里夺回这个城市。

星期二的冲突爆发之前联合国和非盟呼吁立即停止南苏丹境内的战斗,该地区几个国家的领导人希望看到和谈于星期二展开。

联合国安理会和非盟和平与安全委员会星期一晚间发表声明说,南苏丹总统基尔和叛军领导人马查尔应当立即进行对话。非盟还敦促基尔政府释放被拘禁的政界领导人,并威胁要制裁继续施行暴力的人。

东非政府间发展组织将星期二定为南苏丹对立双方展开直接谈判的最后期限,但目前没有迹象显示南苏丹两方会照此行事。

乌干达总统穆塞韦尼星期一会晤了南苏丹总统基尔,并警告马查尔签署一项停战协议,否则邻国将对其采取行动。

东非政府间发展组织上星期的声明没有威胁使用武力,但表示如果战斗继续进行,该组织将考虑采取进一步措施。
