Yau Yau's Rebels Seize South Sudan Town and Military Base

David Yau Yau
Rebels in the South Sudan have chased the government's forces out of the town of Boma.

They've also chased them from the neighboring military base.

Government troops have taken refuge on the mountain, which over looks the town.

UN aid workers abandoned the town, as well, to avoid being in the cross fire between the two armed groups.

The rebels belong to the South Sudan Democratic Army, led by David Yau Yau.

He says his forces are working to force South Sudan into having an actual democracy, rather than a one party system.

His forces are regularly supplied by the Sudanese government, who regularly denies that it supports the rebels fighting the country which until a few years ago was part of their own.
