"Looting of humanitarian compounds has been reported in
Jonglei (Akobo and Bor) and Unity. Several U.N. and NGO
compounds in Bor town have reportedly been completely
looted, including vehicles stolen," the U.N. Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a report.
The South Sudan government said on its Twitter account it
was no longer in control of Bentiu, the capital of Unity State.
"Bentiu is not currently in our hands. It is in the hands of a
commander who has declared support for Machar," it said.
Information Minister Michael Makuei said on Saturday an
army divisional commander in Unity State, John Koang, had
defected and joined rebel leader and former Vice President
Riek Machar, who had named him the governor of the state.
