UGANDA: Ugandan forces helped South Sudan carry out air strikes that killed and badly burned civilians a year ago, according to a United Nations inquiry released today.

Joint aerial bombardments by South Sudan and Uganda “targeted civilian-populated areas predominantly affecting Nuer communities in opposition-affiliated areas,” said the report by the UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan, referring to South Sudan’s second-largest ethnic group.

There was no immediate comment from the Ugandans.
