South Sudan clashes between army and militia kill 57
At least 57 people have been killed in fighting between government forces and a rebel militia in South Sudan, officials have said.
South Sudan army spokesman Brig Malaak Ayuen said dozens were also wounded in the clashes in the state of Jonglei.
In a separate incident in Jonglei, a Sudanese employee of the UN World Food Programme was killed on Friday by unknown assailants.
This week there have also been clashes in neighbouring Unity state, where a militia led by former SPLA Gen Peter Gadet began an assault on government forces, leaving at least 45 people dead.

The Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) said on Monday that rebel General Gabriel Tanginya has handed himself over to the SPLA forces in Upper Nile state. Speaking to Radio Miraya, the Head of SPLA’s Information Office, Brigadier General Malaak Ayuen, confirmed Tanginya’s presence with the SPLA forces at Canal near Malakal town of Upper Nile State.
Constitutional review: S. Sudan civil society activists decry lack of participation
Coalitions of civil society organisations, gathered at a two-day pre-convention, openly decried the government’s failure to include their views in South Sudan’s interim constitution, now in its draft stage.
Already, civil society entities have planned a national convention with the aim of mapping out strategies to define their role and mandates in society ahead of the southern independence in July.
