South Sudan update Have you seen it on the news? January 2014

Fighting has broken out in South Sudan. It is not safe to be there. Miss Starkl is safe. She is on holiday in Kenya. All of the volunteers have been evacuated so they don’t get hurt. Many people have been killed already…

The trip from Yambio to the Ugandan border was a 12 hour bone-shaking ride. A little scary at times but mostly a lot of fun. Once we were in Uganda, the roads were much better. On the second day of the trip, we had our first glimpses of African wildlife - hippos in a waterhole beside the Nile, herds of antelope and several baboons on the roadside.

TWO INDIAN PEACEKEEPERS HAVE DIED IN AN ATTACK ON A UNITED NATIONS COMPOUND IN SOUTH SUDAN'S JONGLEI STATE.

REBELS FROM THE SECOND-LARGEST ETHNIC GROUP, THE NUER, STORMED THE BASE ON THURSDAY, TARGETING CIVILIANS OF THE MAJORITY DINKA ETHNIC COMMUNITY. SOUTH SUDAN HAS BEEN IN TURMOIL SINCE PRESIDENT SALVA KIIR ACCUSED HIS EX-DEPUTY RIEK MACHAR OF MOUNTING A COUP.

THE UNREST, WHICH BROKE OUT ON SUNDAY, HAS KILLED SOME 500 PEOPLE SO FAR. THE CONFLICT FIRST ERUPTED IN THE CAPITAL JUBA BUT HAS SINCE SPREAD.

MR KIIR, WHO IS A DINKA, HAS BLAMED THE VIOLENCE ON A GROUP OF SOLDIERS WHO SUPPORT MR MACHAR, A NUER. THE PRESIDENT ACCUSES THEM OF TRYING TO TAKE POWER BY FORCE ON SUNDAY NIGHT IN A COUP ATTEMPT BY MR MACHAR - A CLAIM THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT DENIES.

A NIGHT TIME CURFEW HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE AND A NUMBER OF ARRESTS HAVE REPORTEDLY BEEN MADE. SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE REPORTED INJURED AND HUNDREDS HAVE FLED TO A US BASE.

What must it be like living in South Sudan now?
