Refugees claim South Sudanese soldiers butchered civilians
South Sudanese refugees who fled to Uganda this week to escape the violence of civil war have claimed that the army shot and slit civilians' throats as they tried to flee. Denying the accusations, the army has blamed the killings on rebel guerrillas. South Sudan has been in unrest since President Salva Kiir sacked Vice President Riek Machar in 2013.
