@unmissmedia Thank you, #Rwanda ! Your assistance will be appreciated by the communities we serve. All contingents of #UNMISS conduct many community support projects in #SouthSudan, funded by respective countries. These do not get the limelight they deserve! My compliments, #Rwanda!

@unmissmedia
I am deeply concerned by the continued escalation of violence in South Sudan, most recently in Jonglei State, which has caused many deaths, injuries & displacement.
Civilians must be protected.
Access for the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance must be ensured.
I call on the Government of South Sudan & opposition forces to immediately halt all military operations & de-escalate the situation through inclusive dialogue.
Thanks @MohanUNMISS for your gender-responsive leadership as the Force Commander of UNMISS, which has led to concrete progress in combating sexual misconduct. The rights of victims of sexual exploitation, abuse, & harassment are non-negotiable. #VictimsRightsFirst
Updating international media on escalating military confrontations in #SouthSudan, #UNMISS Officer-in-Charge, Kiki Gbeho, stressed that "the solution to the current crisis is political, not military".
