26 June 2013 - The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) is deeply concerned by the continued armed violence, displacement and human rights violations against civilians in parts of Jonglei State. UNMISS urges all concerned parties to halt the violence against civilians and allow for timely access and delivery of assistance to vulnerable persons. The Government of the Republic of South Sudan must take immediate and decisive action to protect civilians across Jonglei: address the causes of displacement, the inter-communal violence, and seek accountability for serious abuses regardless of the perpetrator.
