At least five people were killed in the capital of South Sudan’s Western Equatoria state when a vigilante group clashed with security forces, army and police said.
Troops have pushed the group, who call themselves the Arrow Boys, about four kilometers (2.5 miles) from the city of Yambio after three days of fighting, military spokesman Philip Aguer said Wednesday by phone from the national capital, Juba. One soldier was killed, he said.
