Evidence of alleged ethnic killings are emerging in South Sudan during more than a week long clashes in the country.

Reports from the capital Juba quoted witnesses as saying more than 200 people, mostly belonging to ethnic group Nuer, have been killed by security forces belonging to Dinka ethnic group.

Hundreds of people have already died during the last week in fighting between rival factions of the army troops across the country.

Clashes began a week back when President Salva Kiir accused his former deputy, Riek Machar, of a failed coup, with rebels supporting Machar taking hold of the major towns of Bor and Bentiu,in north of Juba.
