Violence in South Sudan's Jonglei State

The UN Mission in South Sudan helps to medevac people who were wounded in clashes in Jonglei state, from Manyabol to Bor, the state capital, on July 14.

Global rights group Human Rights Watch says the army of South Sudan has committed "serious abuses against civilians in its anti-insurgency campaign in Jonglei state" against rebels led by David Yau Yau, shown here. 

Internally displaced persons rest in Pibor, Jonglei state in Jan. 2012 after fleeing the surrounding areas following a wave of ethnic violence. A new wave of clashes in July 2013 between the Lou Nuer and Murle has displaced thousands and left an unknown number wounded or dead, according to Human Rights Watch.

Wounded fighters from the Lou Nuer ethnic group, most of whom suffered gunshot wounds from fighting with Murle in Jonglei state, recover at a hospital in the state capital Bor.
