Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Child Protection Unit concluded a three-day training workshop on Friday for 51 members of the Unified Forces in Western Bahr el Ghazal State.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj in Wau town, UNMISS Wau field office child protection officer Migyikra Erasmus Ndemole said the training focused on protecting children during armed conflict and addressing grave violations against children in such situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis workshop was organized for the Unified Forces based in Western Bahr el Ghazal. We covered the impact of armed conflict on children, particularly focusing on grave violations,\u201d said Ndemole.<\/p>\n

The training covered international law, refugee law, international humanitarian laws, and South Sudanese national laws protecting children during armed conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe examined international humanitarian law, international refugee law, international human rights laws, and South Sudanese national laws that protect children during armed conflict,\u201d Ndemole added.<\/p>\n

The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Child Protection Unit concluded a three-day training workshop on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe conducted this workshop because these are the future forces of South Sudan, and they need to know the \u2018DOs and DON\u2019Ts\u2019 regarding children,\u201d said Migyikra Erasmus Ndemole, UNMISS Wau field office child protection officer.<\/p>\n

Ndemole acknowledged the positive response from participants, who reassured their commitment to upholding children\u2019s rights during operations. \u201cThey said they will ensure the respect and protection of children in any operation or conflict,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Of the 50 Unified Forces members trained, 20 were women and 30 were men. Ndemole expressed confidence that these soldiers would apply what they learned in the workshop. \u201cI expect these forces to respect human rights and adhere to international humanitarian and refugee laws in all their operations,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

Participants expressed their gratitude for the training, stating they had gained valuable insights into implementing child rights and international laws. Major Thomas Salah highlighted the training\u2019s impact, noting, \u201cI am very happy for this training. I have learned a lot, and I will correct things we were not doing right in the military. I have learned that children should not be recruited into the army, and I will implement this knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Salah also mentioned that he would train his colleagues on the rights of children as stipulated in international law. \u201cFor those who did not attend this training, we will educate them. Whatever wrongs we committed against children during past conflicts should not happen again,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Another participant, Captain Doreen Facifico, emphasized the importance of protecting South Sudan\u2019s future generation. \u201cIf we stop all forms of violations against child rights in South Sudan, we are nurturing the future generation. Continuing these violations means we are harming South Sudan\u2019s future because these children are the country\u2019s future,\u201d said Doreen.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a mother, I now know how to protect children because they are our future leaders\u2014principals, commanders, lawyers, teachers, and pastors,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Doreen called on all forces in the country to refrain from harmful violence against children, including recruitment into the military, sexual violence, child abduction, and attacks on schools.<\/p>\n
