"Commuters burnt alive in surge of Sudan massacres"
Katharine Houreld, Garbo, Sudan
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A SERIES of massacres in the south of Sudan over the past two weeks has left at least 58 civilians dead, exposing the impotence of the region’s United Nations peacekeeping mandate.
Families have been attacked in their homes and commuters burnt alive in their vehicles, some close to the main UN base in the city of Juba. In one incident a bus packed with villagers, including women and children, was set alight. No one is sure who is behind the upsurge in violence. They could have been carried out by any one of countless proxy militias formed in the south of the country during 20 years of civil war. Although the war ended two years ago, many militias remain armed.
The mountains and forests make it difficult to track armed groups and the south is awash with guns.
In the village of Garbo, five people were shot in the latest attack on Thursday night. As the dead were laid to rest the following morning, screams from distraught mothers and children mingled with that of shovels. Nearby, a toddler sat stunned in a pool of bloodied water until a policeman came to lead her gently away."
