South Sudan: U.S. Journalist Killed in Fighting Between Gov't and Rebels
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In South Sudan, at least 19 people were killed, including a U.S.
journalist, amid fighting between South Sudanese forces and rebel
soldiers in the southern town of Kaya on Saturday. 26-year-old freelance
journalist Christopher Allen was embedded with the rebel soldiers when
he was killed. He'd graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in
2013. Fighting in South Sudan has killed tens of thousands of people and
displaced more than a million since 2014.
