Rebels report new killings

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, in a statement to AFP, the SPLM/A office in Eritrea accused government forces of killing dozens of people in the oil-producing southern regions of Sudan when they overran the town of Nayal Dio on Friday last week.

    “The cold-blooded slaughter in Nayal Dio is a continuation of the government’s policy of burnt land and ethnic cleansing which has seen hundreds of villages burnt and their inhabitants killed or left homeless,” the statement said. The statement, which was not independently verified, accused the government of seeking to ensure its ability to pump oil in the area.
