South Sudan shoot-out at Unity state peace talks
3 February 2012 Last updated at 17:47 GM

At least 37 people have been killed in South Sudan during a shoot-out at a peace meeting aimed at ending recent violence, officials said.

Officials from three states and the UN had met for talks in the remote town of Mayendit in Unity state in an effort to reduce inter-ethnic tensions.

The talks were called after a series of clashes, including one in which 74 people were killed earlier this week. Thousands of people have been displaced in the violence.

According to the UN, the fighting took place when four trucks of gunmen arrived at the meeting after a row broke out, and began to shoot indiscriminately.

The gunmen included policemen from different units, soldiers, bodyguards and armed wildlife officials, according to AFP news agency. Many others were wounded in the confrontation, including a UN staff member.

Correspondents say the lack of security in South Sudan, which became independent last July, is one of its greatest challenges.
Hundreds of people have also been killed in a series of tit-for-tat cattle raids in Jonglei state in recent weeks.

Mkuu hizi zetu tulizosuluhishana tuna nini?
Kwamfano kwetu hapa, bongo ni nchi ya 3 kwa kupewa misaada baada ya Afghanstan na Iraq,
its obvious tupo vitani pia just namna tofauti ya vita,
tusubiri mgomo wa madaktari ukiisha tathmini itaonyesha idadi halisi ya vifo na majeruhi....
Je hatupo vitani hapo??
Tz kama nchi, kwasasa hatuna chochote cha kuwacheka wenzetu wowote!
