南苏丹军方称,6000名努埃尔部落战士袭击了敌对的穆尔勒部落的皮博尔镇。周五,联合国向皮博尔派遣更多部队,但据悉只有800名士兵驻守该镇。成千民众已逃离皮博尔,BBC驻东非记者Will Ross报道。
South Sudan's army spokesman Colonel Philip Aguer told the BBC that thousands of armed men from the Lou Nuer tribe entered Pibor town and set fire to the grass-thatched homes and a hospital. He said the army and the UN peacekeepers were in defensive positions protecting the town's administrative centre. But being totally outnumbered by about 6,000 attackers, they were unable to prevent the homes being burnt to the ground. Almost all residents of Pibor are from the Murle tribe, and they had already fled.
