U.N. Says 180,000 Displaced by South Sudan Violence 
----------------------------------------------------


 
The violence in South Sudan has killed more than 1,000 people. Speaking
on Monday, Gérard Araud, the U.N. Security Council president for this
month, said 180,000 people have been displaced.

Gérard Araud: "The situation of the human rights is also pretty
worrying. There are reports of torturing, killing, disappearance and on
ethnically targeted violence, actually. So the human rights sector or
component of the mission has been upgraded, and investigations and
reporting have been upgraded, so there could be accountability at the
end of this tragedy."
