Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) raised \u201cdeep concerns\u201d about brewing tension following the outbreak of violence in Malakal of Upper Nile state, which led to several deaths on Thursday.<\/p>\n

UNMISS said in a statement tensions also remain high in the UN Protection of Civilians Site adjacent to the Mission\u2019s base in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch violence causes lasting harm to communities and also prevents UNMISS from continuing our vital protection and peacebuilding work,\u201d said UNMISS chief Nicholas Haysom.<\/p>\n

UNMISS said it urges state and local authorities as well as government security forces to maintain stability and order in the area, including around the UN Protection of Civilians Site and Malakal town.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it calls on conflicting parties to show restraint and use dialogue to resolve outstanding issues peacefully.<\/p>\n

The Mission said it is continuing to work with the state government, community leaders, and security actors to ensure calm prevails.<\/p>\n

On Friday morning, a civil society activist disclosed that six people were killed in two separate incidents, and called on the state government to swiftly intervene.<\/p>\n

The state is recovering from a horrific subnational violence in late 2022 in which a UN Report found that nearly 600 civilians were killed amid gross human rights abuses and serious violations of international humanitarian law by armed groups.<\/p>\n
