South Sudan's opposition says nine killed in renewed fighting

By Denis Dumo JUBA (Reuters) - At least nine people were killed in South Sudan over the weekend in renewed clashes between troops loyal to President Salva Kiir and those of his longtime rival Riek Machar, a spokesman for Machar said on Monday. Machar, the former vice president, and his SPLM-IO group have been caught up with more than two years of on-and-off, ethnically charged fighting with supporters of Kiir. Machar returned to the capital Juba in April after a shaky peace deal but left again last month when new clashes broke out.
