————————–
Gunmen killed over 70 people in South Sudan over a gold mining row on the outskirts of the capital over the weekend, Arab News reported.

A video of dozens of bodies at an open ground was shared online, and a local journalist said many other victims are believed to have fled to the bushes.

The gold mining site at Jebel Iraq in Central Equatoria State has in the past been the site of violent clashes between illegal miners and mining companies.
