.- Two days of clashes between the army and rebel region have caused some 105 deaths, mostly civilians, said Friday a military spokesman in southern Sudan. The Associated Press incorrectly quoted the death toll at 140. Colonel Philip Aguer said a former senior official in the southern army who rebelled against the government after elections last year violated a cease-fire by attacking the people of Fangak and Dor.
He said rebel forces commander George Athor took Fangak and fighting lasted until Thursday, the southern army retook the population. No fighting was reported on Friday. Aguer said 39 civilians were killed in clashes on Wednesday and Thursday, plus 24 soldiers and 42 South Athor effective.
