South Sudanese police said 16 people died in riots last week. Riots erupted in the South Sudanese capital, Juba, and elsewhere in the country on Thursday and Friday last week.
Protesters are outraged by what they believe is the involvement of Sudan's military and its group of allies in the killings of El Gezira.
Sudanese soldiers condemned what they called a "violation" in El Gezira after human rights groups blamed them and their allies for attacks targeting ethnicity against civilians accused of supporting rebel Rapid Support Forces.
South Sudan's national police said 16 foreign Sudanese nationals were reportedly killed in four states.
Police will continue to patrol markets and residential areas to protect Sudanese people, the statement said.
