Following recurring clashes between farmers and cattle herders in Central Equatoria, UNMISS supported a forum where representatives from the two parties discussed and agreed on measures to put an end to their conflict.
In Pibor, UNMISS South Korean engineers built a 35-kilometer road connecting the town to nearby Bor and Akobo. As a result, the local market is booming, with traders actively selling locally produced goods like as maize, groundnuts, and sorghum. Photo: UNMISS.
