Forces loyal to George Athor blew up two army trucks near the town of Fangak in Jonglei state, a southern military spokesman said.
Mr Athor took up arms last year, alleging fraud in state elections, but signed a ceasefire last month.

My Comment: This fighting illustrates what is the problem with Sudan. Too many factions and ethnic groups with their own agendas and goals. I expect even more fighting as South Sudan's day of independence approaches.
