Heavily armed militants on Thursday attacked a U.N. peacekeepers' base that was sheltering civilians in South Sudan, killing at least 48 people and seriously injuring dozens of others, a U.N. spokesman in the country said Friday.
The attack on the U.N. base in Bor, the capital of Jonglei state, began when militants used rocket-propelled grenades to breach the compound, U.N. spokesman Joseph Contreras said.
Contreras said the gunmen then opened fire at the site, where peacekeepers had been hosting and protecting nearly 5,000 civilians.
Details about how the attack ended weren't immediately available. A search of the site continued Friday, and more casualties are expected to be discovered, Contreras said.

Damn. Those militants will regret this when they receive a stern letter from the UN in a few weeks.

That entire region of Africa should be allowed to kill each other to their hearts content then allowed to starve to death when they cry about the next famine occurring. When in the last twenty plus years has it risen about the status of a stopped up sewer main spilling into the streets? We should be nearing the 20th anniversary of the Hutu/Tutsi genocide occurring in Rwanda.
