Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations Interim Security Force in Abyei (UNISFA) in a press release Wednesday strongly condemned the renewed intercommunal violence which it said is threatening the security situation in and around the southern part of the Abyei box.<\/p>\n

The UN Mission said that according to the latest reports by local authorities, on 27 January, a cattle rustling incident resulted in the death of 18 people and 9 others injured (all males).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reports indicated that youths from Abyei Box allegedly attacked the villages of Makuac\/Madou, Tongliet, and Makueibum in Twic County. Five Nuer and two Dinka Ngok youths were reportedly among those killed and hundreds of cattle allegedly rustled were yet to be recovered,\u201d the statement said. \u201cThe attack, which was among the deadliest in the conflicts between the Ngok Dinka and Twic Dinka communities, was the latest in the escalating insecurity in the southern part of Abyei Box. It followed the 5 January attack on the Rumamier village in Abyei Box by Twic Dinka, which left 14 people dead, and 4 others injured.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mission is concerned that such attacks were likely to lead to a spike in the conflict between the two communities,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

According to UNISFA, the fighting has negatively impacted the livelihoods of the local community and displaced thousands.<\/p>\n

\u201cUNISFA strongly condemns this attack, regrets the loss of lives and calls for the immediate disarmament of armed youths in the general area, and enjoins the two communities to restrain from engaging in further arms conflict and join hands with UNISFA, UNMISS, and the Government of South Sudan in finding a lasting solution to the crisis,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The mission urged the parties to work with government authorities to quickly find lasting solutions to the crisis and promote peaceful co-existence.<\/p>\n

\u201cUNISFA reiterates its commitment to the implementation of its mandate and readiness to work with the local authorities to find an inclusive solution to the conflict in Abyei,\u201d the statement concluded. \u201cUNISFA is also working closely with humanitarian partners to facilitate humanitarian access to the affected population and protect the rights of the most vulnerable, in particular, women and children.\u201d<\/p>\n
