Khartoum, Sudan (CNN) -- More than 100 people were killed and scores of others injured in clashes between the Southern Sudan government and forces loyal to a militia leader last week, a Southern Sudan official said.
Forces loyal to George Athor "attacked the town of Fanjak," said Peter Aguer, spokesman for the Sudan People's Liberation Army movement. Twenty SPLA soldiers, 39 civilians and 30 of the attackers were killed, he said.
In addition, Athor's forces also attacked the town of Bor, where four SPLA soldiers and 12 attackers died -- a total of 105 dead, Aguer said.
The clashes took place Wednesday and Thursday.
