A proud day for Ghanaian peacekeepers in Aweil.

Found in the middle of Juba, safely defused by the UN Mine Action Service, averting potential disaster.
“Quiet.”
The voice of the head of the UN Mine Action Service in South Sudan rings out across the open field.
“Firing.”

Solar lamps, and an ambulance, were part of the renovation package as UNMISS peacekeepers handed over the Jonglei Health Institute in Bor to its administrators.

Limited or non-existent police presence in rural areas in South Sudan make it increasingly difficult to respond to critical security threats in these hard-to-access communities.
