*YAMBIO* – A deadly clash erupted yesterday morning between local youths of Western Equatoria State and SPLA army identified as recent trainees of the militia Mathiang Anyor in Birisi Boma of WES. The fighting happened when the SPLA units (mostly Dinka) went on a purge and attempted to arrest local youths in Birisi village. The youths refused the arrest considering it as tribally charged. The SPLA opened fire on the crowded youths killing one on spot. The local youths responded in kind with few rifles in hand killing two militias and wounding one. The militas were advised to return to the baracks by the local unit commander.

Two Boda Boda riders died in the scene with another sustaining serious injuries.
