| South Sudan: Clashes Over an Oil Town | |
| (about 2 hours later) | |
| Rebels and government forces both claimed Wednesday that they controlled the oil hub of Bentiu in South Sudan as fighting entered a third day. Thousands of people have been killed and more than a million have fled their homes since fighting erupted in December, set off by a struggle between President Salva Kiir and former Vice President Riek Machar. A cease-fire signed in January has been broken frequently, and peace talks have often stalled. The sides are to hold a new round of talks in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, this week, but the precise timing is uncertain. | Rebels and government forces both claimed Wednesday that they controlled the oil hub of Bentiu in South Sudan as fighting entered a third day.
