Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) on Thursday said it continues efforts to maintain calm in Malakal following an outbreak of violence in the capital of the restive Upper Nile State.<\/p>\n

According to a statement extended to this publication, the Mission said that following last week’s outbreak of violence in Malakal, UNMISS continues to support efforts to protect civilians and maintain calm through intensive patrols and engagement with affected communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mission commends the swift and ongoing responses by state authorities and government security forces to reduce tensions and keep communities safe,\u201d the statement read in part. \u201cThe situation is currently calm but fragile.\u201d<\/p>\n
