Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General in South Sudan reiterated calls on the government to abolish taxation on UN imports into the country to ease humanitarian response.<\/p>\n

Anita Kiki Gbeho, who is also the UN humanitarian coordinator in the country, made the remarks in a meeting with First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar in Juba on Friday.<\/p>\n

The meeting discussed facilitation of humanitarian assistance to areas affected by conflict, natural disasters, and other humanitarian crises, such as the war in neighbouring Sudan.<\/p>\n

Kiki said the issue of taxation on aid imports could worsen the already dire displacement and economic crises in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI took the opportunity to advocate around the issue of taxation, and ensuring that humanitarian assistance can enter the country without being taxed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201c2024 is a critical year for South Sudan. We have a protracted crisis, and as the humanitarian community and the government, we have been trying to address the food insecurity situation for 9 million in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

A statement from the office of First Vice President, said Dr. Riek Machar underscored the urgency of providing timely and effective assistance to vulnerable populations in the country.<\/p>\n

The two leaders reportedly pledged to address pressing challenges facing the country with a firm resolve to make tangible progress towards a more peaceful and prosperous South Sudan.<\/p>\n

In March, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator expressed concerns over insecurity and taxation that hinder the delivery of humanitarian goods and services across the country.<\/p>\n
