Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) on Tuesday demanded the immediate release of trucks carrying fuel and other essential supplies detained at the Nimule border over government tax requirements.<\/p>\n

This follows earlier assurances by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management that taxes imposed on such shipments would not apply to UN humanitarian, development, or peacekeeping missions or the diplomatic community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we acknowledge the government\u2019s confirmation of its intention to end the blockade of our trucks, we now need urgent action to get the trucks moving to ensure our support for South Sudan does not grind to a halt,\u201d said UNMISS chief Nicholas Haysom.<\/p>\n

Haysom, who is also the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in South Sudan, expressed continued concern over fuel trucks being held at various depots and the border despite government assurances.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil they are released, the UN will not be able to conduct many of its activities in support of vulnerable communities across the country,\u201d he warned, describing the situation as critical with UN fuel reserves running low.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will prevent the delivery of millions of dollars of aid during a severe humanitarian crisis and divert already stretched funding provided by donors and other Member States to assist the people of South Sudan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The top United Nations diplomat further noted the suspension of humanitarian airdrops, affecting 60,000 people in need.<\/p>\n

He added that UNMISS is also reviewing its ability to conduct peacekeeping patrols, road repairs, construction projects, and support for peace and electoral processes.<\/p>\n
