SOUTH SUDAN: UN SENIOR OFFICIAL CONDEMNS DEADLY ATTACK ON MILITARY AND
CIVILIAN PEACEKEEPERS
New York, Apr 9 2013 12:00PM
The top United Nations official in South Sudan today strongly
condemned the killing of at least 12 people working with the UN
peacekeeping mission in the country in Jonglei State.

The Special Representative of the Secretary-General in South Sudan,
Hilde F. Johnson, "condemns in the strongest terms the killing today
of five peacekeepers and seven civilians working with UNMISS (UN
Mission in South Sudan)," according to the Mission.

According to media reports, the Indian Foreign Ministry confirmed the
deaths of the peacekeepers at the hands of "unknown rebels."

Ms. Johnson <"http://unmiss.unmissions.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=e3E4bl80deU%3d&tabid=3465&language=en-US">expressed
her deepest condolences to the families of the peacekeepers,
colleagues and civilians killed in the attack.

"At least nine additional peacekeepers and accompanying civilians were
injured, and some remain unaccounted for," the Mission's statement
continued.

UNMISS said the attack was "an ambush by unidentified assailants" near
the settlement of Gumuruk in Jonglei, an area frequently patrolled as
part of an effort to provide protection to civilians, as well as
providing armed escorts to humanitarian aid convoys.

"This attack will not deter UNMISS and its peacekeepers from working
to protect vulnerable communities in South Sudan, said Ms. Johnson.
"UNMISS is determined to continue its work in supporting authorities
ensure peace."

The UN has been increasingly vocal in recent weeks about the need for
increased protection of civilians in Jonglei state.

South Sudan faces considerable security challenges, in particular, in
Jonglei state and the tri-state area of Lakes, Warrap and Unity.

Last week, the UN mission released its findings into a probe of a
cattle raid on an 8 February attack near Walgak in West Akobo in which
at least at least 85 cattle herders, mostly women and children, were
killed.

According to a Spokesperson for the Office of the UN High Commissioner
for Human Rights (OHCHR), the UNMISS investigation found that a group
of armed men, allegedly members of the Murle community, attacked the
Lou Nuer pastoralists as they were migrating to grazing areas.

The OHCHR Spokesperson called on the South Sudanese authorities to
immediately launch an investigation into this gruesome attack and
bring the perpetrators to justice in order to end the cycle of
violence and prevailing impunity.

UNMISS said the attack represented the highest single loss of life
since an increase in inter-communal violence began several months ago.

Speaking to journalists yesterday in Juba, Ms. Johnson had urged the
Government and the local communities to break the deadly cycle of
violence spurred by inter-communal violence and attacks by armed
groups, "The destabilization of Jonglei must stop."
