A military court in South Sudan has convicted 10 soldiers of raping foreign aid workers and murdering a local journalist.

The crimes were committed during a violent rampage in the Terrain Hotel in the capital, Juba, in 2016.

UN peacekeepers who were nearby were accused of failing to respond to pleas for help.

The judgment was delivered in a military courtroom packed with diplomats, aid workers and officials.

One accused solider was acquitted.
