At least eight people have reportedly been killed when mutinous troops attacked an army base in south Sudan following this month's elections.A southern army spokesman said the mutineers backed a former general who ran and lost in a Jonglei state poll.
George Athor denied leading the troops but told the BBC he sympathised with them and says the polls were rigged.
The ex-rebel SPLM won a landslide to retain power in the south, amid widespread claims of intimidation.
The BBC's James Copnall in Khartoum says there have been intense negotiations for several days to avoid just this sort of problem in Southern Sudan.This article is from the BBC News website. ? British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
