Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>An official in Warrap State on Monday confirmed a dozen casualties following the outbreak of clashes between local armed youth and counterparts from Abyei region, while refuting allegations that youth from Twic County started the violence.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Abyei Information Minister Bolis Kuoch said 11 people were wounded when five areas came under attack by armed youth that he alleged to have crossed from neighboring Warrap.<\/p>\n

Mr, Kuoch, who is also the government spokesperson of Abyei, claimed several locations in the region were hit by gunmen believed to be from Twic County over the weekend.<\/p>\n

In response, Warrap Information Minister William Wol Mayom, said armed youth from Ajak-Kuach clashed with their counterpart from Abyei as they carried out \u201creconnaissance\u201d in the area.<\/p>\n

Mayom said two people were killed and 10 others wounded from the side of Warrap youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly at 4AM, suspected armed youth from Abyei, intending to attack Ajak-kuach, clashed with reconnaissance of Twic armed youth who were trying to patrol the area,\u201d Mayom said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey clashed at the northern direction of Ajak-kuach Payam of Twic County. However, the fighting escalated so far until morning when the attackers from Abyei were pushed back to Juljok.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Juljok, there was an intensified fighting which lasted for almost two hours, and on our side Waraap State, two people confirmed killed and ten wounded.\u201d<\/p>\n

Going by the causality figures Eye Radio could not independently verify, three people have been killed and 21 other wounded in the weekends\u2019 attacks.<\/p>\n

However, the incident is a continuation of renewed hostilities between the neighboring communities despite several peace efforts in the past.<\/p>\n
