Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The latest quarterly brief of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) says subnational violence remains a significant concern affecting civilians across South Sudan.<\/p>\n

According to a press statement on Wednesday, the Mission reports that between April and June 2024, UNMISS recorded 317 incidents affecting at least 1,062 civilians, (including 160 women and 188 children), of which 442 were killed, 297 were injured, 197 abducted, and 126 were subjected to sexual violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis represents a steep increase of 43 percent in the number of violent incidents (from 222 to 317), as well as a 22 percent rise in the number of victims (from 871 to 1,062) compared to the same period in 2023,\u201d the statement reads in part. \u201cThese numbers also indicate a 32 percent uptick in violent incidents (from 240 to 317) and a 16 percent increase in the number of victims (from 913 to 1,062) in comparison to the previous quarter (January \u2013 March 2024).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf particular concern is the upsurge in documented abductions and sexual violence compared to the previous quarter this year. The number of abductions increased by an alarming 181 percent (from 70 to 197), while a 168 percent rise in the number of victims of sexual violence was recorded (from 47 to 126),\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

The Mission said the majority of abductions were documented in parts of Juba, Morobo, and Yei counties in Central Equatoria State. Tambura County in Western Equatoria State recorded the highest incidents of conflict-related sexual violence. Women and girls continued to be disproportionately affected by conflict-related sexual violence, accounting for 99 percent of documented victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cInter\/intra-communal violence by community-based militias and\/or civil defense groups linked to border disputes, cross-border violence, cyclical and retaliatory attacks, as well as ethnic polarization remained the primary source of subnational violence, accounting for 83 percent of victims (883 individuals) documented across the country,\u201d UNMISS documented. \u201cHowever, nationwide trends of violence involving conventional parties to the conflict remained low during the reporting period.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, while Western Equatoria State recorded the highest number of incidents, Warrap State remained the most affected area, accounting for 32 percent of the total number of civilian victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe considerable increase in violent incidents, especially abductions and attacks against women, is alarming and must stop,\u201d said Nicholas Haysom, the Secretary-General\u2019s Special Representative and Head of UNMISS. \u201cRespect for human rights is the foundation upon which lasting peace and stability are built. Given the recent extension of the transitional period, it is vital that national, state, and local authorities as well as communities and their leaders redouble their efforts to resolve longstanding conflict drivers through dialogue.\u201d<\/p>\n

UNMISS urges the Government of South Sudan to protect civilians by preventing repeated cycles of violence, investigating violations and abuses of human rights as well as international humanitarian law, and holding perpetrators accountable under applicable laws. The Mission continues to protect civilians across the country, bring communities together to reconcile differences, and actively support political and peace processes.<\/p>\n
