Troops ’slaughtered civilians like animals‘ refugees say, as thousands flee to neighbouring Uganda.
More than 6,000 people have fled from southern South Sudan into the northern Ugandan district of Lamwo, recounting the slaughter of civilians by armed forces, according to the UN refugee agency.
A statement from the UNHCR said on Friday more residents of Pajok town in South Sudan’s Equatoria region were hiding in the bush trying to find their way to safety in Uganda.
„People fleeing the recent incident claimed that the town came under an indiscriminate attack by the South Sudan armed forces,“ the statement said.
