10 October 2013 - UNMISS Chinese engineers began repairing a road today leading from Wau to Koor Malang village in Western Bahr El-Ghazal State.

The two-kilometre road, which was severely damaged by recent heavy rains, is the only access road aid agencies can use to deliver items to vulnerable people in the village.

“Good traffic is (necessary) not only for movement of residents … but also for the development of the local community,” said Lt. Col Yu Zigang, commander of the engineering company.

The engineers said they expected to complete the road work in two weeks.
