South Sudan violence spills into displacement camp, religious leaders say


JUBA (Reuters) - Fighting between rival groups of youths in remote parts of South Sudan's Upper Nile State has spread into a camp housing people displaced by the violence, religious leaders said on Thursday, expressing concerns it was getting out of hand.

The violence in the Upper Nile State, which started in August, has killed an unknown number of people and displaced just over 9,000, some of whom are hiding in swamps, United Nations agencies said on Wednesday.
