"About 383,000 South Sudanese have died as a result of the civil war ... The true number may be considerably higher," said the study by researchers at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, released on Tuesday. "While it is plausible that some insecurity would have persisted in South Sudan even without the civil war, we are confident that a large majority of the 190,000 violent deaths were attributable to the war itself," it said.
