More than 100 people have died in ethnic violence in southern Sudan, in the latest in a spate of deadly attacks.



United Nations sources say thousands of armed men from the Lou Nuer ethnic group attacked civilians and security forces in the village of Duk Padiet in Jonglei state.



Last month about 185 people from the group were killed by Murle fighters in an attack in the same state.



Some 2,000 people have died in similar clashes across the south this year.
