South Sudan’s army has denied accusations of killing civilians in Wau
Shilluk area following the latest Amnesty International report blaming
government troops (SPLA) on civilian killings in Upper Nile.SPLA spokesman
Santo Domic said in Juba on Thursday that the Amnesty International report
is false, arguing that the SPLA was not involved in any atrocities
committed against citizens in Upper Nile.

Domic accused Amnesty International of having ill intentions towards South
Sudan. He pointed out that international rights groups were supposed to be
neutral.

Amnesty International said in its report that South Sudan army burned,
shelled and systematically looted homes between January and May this year,
deliberately killing civilians and forcing thousands from the Shilluk tribe
to flee in Upper Nile.
