The head of the United Nations Mission to Southern Sudan (Minuss), the Nicolas Haisomhe condemned Monday the attacks that are uninterruptedly and indiscriminately fired on civilians, especially the air bombings using mechanisms containing “extremely flammable” liquid.

Nassir County, in the state of the Upper Nile, has been turned into a battle theater for weeks, mainly between federal forces, who swear faith in the president Cirreand the “White Army”, a paramilitary organization accused by Juba of working with the first vice -president Ricksometimes a guerrilla.

“The political situation and security situation have worsened long after the White Army, a paramilitary group of young people, posted under the arms of barracks where they previously seized.” Units of the South Sudan Army in Nassir on March 4, Nicholas Haisom said during a press conference he gave via video reconstruction.

“In retaliation, communities in the Upper Nile are undergoing uninterrupted air bombings, using mechanisms, explosive barrels containing extremely flammable liquid, which acts as an accelerator at the time of the firing”he said.

“These attacks unleashed against civilians cause a large number of victims and horrifying injuries, especially burns.” And 63,000 people left the area, he continued.

“We receive information that speaks of a new mobilization of the White Army” and the South Sudanese Armed Forces in the State, he added concern, referring to forced recruitment of children.

To it adds the development of the Uganda Army, “obviously” at the request of the South Sudan government, and that ‘Increases fear’ of the population, he insisted.

“We have no choice but to appreciate that South Sudan is on the brink of a new civil war,” warned.

To ‘The country is removed from the rim of the abyss’, MINUS organized meetings with various regional actors, mainly with the African Union and the East African State Community.

Yet “Unfortunately, a high -level visit of the IGAD Foreign Ministers (Member States) today to Juba was postponed to April 3 by the government at the last minute without any explanation,” Nicolas Haisom emphasized.

The head of the mission called on the Cirre and Rick to make an urgent “joint statement to reassure” the country, reassess it “Commined to Peace”.

After gaining his independence from Sudan in 2011, the youngest state in the world remains submerged in violent conflicts that do not allow him to turn the page of the multi -civil war between Messrs. Kir and Makar.

The conflict left behind nearly 400,000 dead and 4 million forcedly displaced from 2013 to 2018, when a peace agreement was signed, but is now seriously threatened by new conflicts.
