Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Deputy Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom Mission to the UN in New York, James Kariuki, on Tuesday during the UN Security Council meeting on Sudan said the United Kingdom is deeply concerned by the alarming rise in intercommunal clashes between the Ngok Dinka of Abyei and Twic Dinka of South Sudan\u2019s Warrap State.<\/p>\n

The Violent clashes over the past six months have led to hundreds of civilian casualties and claimed the lives of two peacekeepers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on South Sudan to withdraw its armed forces from southern Abyei immediately, in accordance with their obligations under the Status of Forces Agreement. We take this opportunity to express our heartfelt condolences to the families of all victims and to the Governments of Ghana and Pakistan. As well as to the families of two ICRC workers killed on 2 May in South Darfur,\u201d he said. \u201cSecond, the United Kingdom calls on the Sudanese and South Sudanese authorities to create the necessary conditions for UNISFA to fully implement its protection mandate. We further urge community leaders and influential figures to take steps to de-escalate tensions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amb. Kariuki added: \u201cThe rise in South Sudanese troop deployments in and around Abyei has actively contributed to insecurity and the proliferation of arms in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also called on Sudan to urgently ensure the safe resupply and freedom of movement of the Joint Border Verification Mechanism and further urged enhanced coordination by local authorities to ensure humanitarian assistance reaches the most vulnerable across Abyei.<\/p>\n

\u201cThird, for real progress to be made in addressing Abyei\u2019s dire humanitarian situation and its unresolved political status, fighting in Sudan must end now,\u201d Amb. Kariuki stated. \u201cWe reiterate our calls to the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces to immediately cease hostilities and make way for a political transition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn closing, President, civilians continue to bear the brunt of the military clashes in Sudan and inter-communal conflict across Abyei and South Sudan. Peacekeepers and humanitarians are risking their lives to try and alleviate suffering. They must not be targets,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
