"It was a normal quarrel between two people, but each of their villages became involved," said Kuol of the southern Sudan Peoples' Liberation Army (SPLA), adding that it took place in the New Fangak region of Jonglei. "Then fighting began again on the Thursday, and this time it was more bloody," he said, adding that while originally between people from the Nuer ethnic group, the fighting later drew in Dinka people who supported one side. Some 140 people have been killed during clashes in the south's Warrap state this month.
