Official said attacks in Western Equatoria state by rebels of the Lord’s Resistance Army are on the increase.
Deputy Governor of Western Equatoria told the BBC that no week goes by without reports of the group, notorious for its brutality, attacking a village.
The UN said more than twenty five thousand people have been forced from their homes in south Sudan by the LRA since January 2010. The rebels, initially from Uganda, are now mainly in Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo.
