| South Sudan's defence minister has been killed along with at least 21 other people in a plane crash in the south.
Dominic Dim Deng was returning with a military delegation to the regional capital, Juba, from a political conference in the town of Wau.
A presidential adviser was among the passengers and crew members killed.
South Sudan's President Salva Kiir said engine trouble had caused the crash, about 400km (250 miles) west of Juba. He declared three days of mourning.
The BBC's Amber Henshaw in Sudan says the incident will bring back memories of the death of South Sudan's first leader, John Garang, who was killed in a helicopter crash three years ago.
His widow called his death an assassination, despite an official probe that blamed pilot error.
