Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Authorities in South Sudan\u2019s Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) have confirmed and condemned the killing of a humanitarian worker in the area.<\/p>\n

Abraham Kelang Jiji, the GPAA capital Pibor\u2019s Information Minister, told Sudan Post on Friday that the humanitarian worker was killed on Monday, November 6, 2023, between Nyaka and Jebel Buma area.<\/p>\n

Kelang said that the state authorities are still investigating the killing and working to establish who was responsible.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Monday, one of the humanitarian staff working for the For Afrika organization, which is working in Jebel Buma County, was killed by unknown people between Nyaka and Jebel Buma,\u201d Kelang said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe the government are still investigating the community there. We need to find out exactly what happened and who killed the humanitarian worker, but since he was killed, we did not know. We are still searching,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Kelang said that the For Afrika worker was killed while returning from field work to his office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had an activity and went with other staff in a car. But their car got stuck, and he walked alone going back to the headquarters. On his way, between the activity place and his company, he was killed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that the For Afrika organization is still running its activities in the GPAA without interruption.<\/p>\n

Kelang condemned the incident and called on humanitarian organizations working in the GPAA to continue their activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are sorry for what happened. We did not expect any humanitarian worker to be killed. We, the state government, promise to provide security to any humanitarian organization with security,\u201d Kelang said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny humanitarian organization having activity in a far place, distant between town and rural areas, let them first call us leaders and we will know and provide them with security,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the UN Acting Humanitarian Coordinator in South Sudan, Marie-Helene Verney, condemned the killing of the humanitarian worker and called on armed actors in the world\u2019s youngest country to cease harassment of aid workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo armed actors and individuals, my message is clear: stop the violence and harassment of humanitarian actors or be prepared to see them leave. All forms of violence against civilians and humanitarians are unacceptable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
