July 11, 2016 (JUBA) – Heavy gunfire has resumed in the South Sudanese
capital, Juba, on Monday, after a quiet night Sunday evening.

Eye witnesses told *Sudan Tribune* that heavy gunfire erupted this morning
at Jebel Kujur site where the residence of the First Vice President, Riek
Machar, and his forces are situated.

Government troops were seen retreating from the location of Jebel into the
town center after a brief lull of fighting. Heavy weapons were used.

Also sustained shootings have been heard in the areas of Gudele, Tongping
near Juba airport.

Shootings have also resumed at the airport area and sounds of heavy machine
guns could be heard.

Government officials and military sources loyal to President Salva Kiir
said they are shelling buildings suspected to have been used by armed
opposition fighters and associates, who were targeted by their colleagues
in government.

Also there are those who have changed side in a show of solidarity to
members of their ethnic groups killed in Friday clashes.

A number of United Nations peace keepers have been killed. Several UN
sources have confirmed the death of two Rwandans and one Chinese peace
keepers. Two others are also said to have been wounded.

Fighting is also reported this morning in Torit town, capital of Eastern
Equatoria state, east of Juba towards the Kenyan border.
