South Sudan: Clashes Near Nasir Kill Fourteen
In South Sudan, a fight happened between the army and a group called the White Army near a town where there was trouble before.
The White Army attacked the army three times.
The fighting led to the deaths of four soldiers and ten members of the White Army.
The White Army is said to be connected to Riek Machar, who is against the current president, Salva Kiir.
Machar was arrested earlier this year.
The fighting has raised concerns about more conflict between different groups in the country.
Both Kiir and Machar were part of a power-sharing government after a past civil war, but now there is fear of it restarting.
Fighting occurred in Upper Nile state, near Nasir town.
The South Sudan military and the White Army militia were involved.
Four soldiers and ten militia members were killed in the clashes.
The White Army launched three attacks on the military.
The fighting follows the arrest of Riek Machar.
