South Sudan’s police imposed a nationwide curfew from 16:00 GMT on Friday after a night of deadly rioting in the capital over the alleged killing of South Sudanese people by the army and allied groups in neighboring Sudan.
In a broadcast on state television, police chief Abraham Peter Manyuat said the curfew would continue until further notice from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily to try to restore security and prevent the destruction of property.
Shops in many suburbs in Juwere closed as police and other security forces tried to relocate Sudanese people to safer areas due to fears they could be attacked by rioters.
The riots follow the alleged killing of South Sudanese people by members of Sudan's military and allied groups in the city of Wad Madani in Sudan's El Gezira region.
