Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) soldiers patrol a village in Mathiang, some 44 kilometers from Bor, on January 25, 2014. South Sudan's government accused rebel forces of breaking a ceasefire on January 25, less than 24 hours after it began, dashing hopes of a swift end to the brutal conflict. The ceasefire, aimed at stopping five weeks of bitter fighting in which thousands have died, began Friday evening with both sides reporting clashes as the deadline approached.
