JUBA, Sudan (AFP) — The death toll from clashes between rival ethnic groups in south Sudan has risen to 250 people, a district official said on Wednesday, with dozens of children also abducted.

Armed fighters from the Murle ethnic group in remote Akobo county in eastern Jonglei state attacked Lou Nuer villages over the weekend, county commissioner Doyak Chol said, revising Monday's initial toll of 177 dead.

"We have recovered and counted 250 bodies, and 33 children have been abducted by the Murle," Chol told AFP by satellite telephone.
