At least 19 people died over the weekend as a result of ongoing violent protests in Juba and other towns, as people reacted angrily to a gory video showing the killing of supposed South Sudanese nationals in Sudan.

The official police report in South Sudan said some of the victims were not deliberately targeted, but were hit by stray bullets as security forces worked to disperse looters in various markets.
