UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations on Thursday demanded the release of 12 UN contractors detained by rebels in South Sudan while operating a barge carrying fuel, weapons and equipment for international peacekeepers.
A group of 100 heavily-armed rebels also detained 20 peacekeepers when they captured the barge traveling on the Nile north of Malakal on Monday, but the blue helmets have since been released.
