July 3, 2016 (JUBA) – A group of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) on
Saturday clashed with South Sudan army soldiers at Jebel check point, which
is located north of the United Nations Protection of Civilians (PoC) site
in the national capital, Juba.

The acting spokesperson for the UN mission in South Sudan (UNIMISS) said
the incident was a provocation by several IDPs, who were drinking at the
nearby checkpoint area located north of PoC1, towards SPLA soldiers in the
area.

“This resulted in an altercation between the IDPs and SPLA soldiers, and a
few causalities, to be confirmed,” Chantal Persaud told *Sudan Tribune*
Monday.

“UNMISS and SPLA senior officers met Sunday morning at the Jebel
checkpoint, to ascertain the circumstances around the incident and verify
information related to the shooting,” she added.

About 50 civilians who run small shops outside UNMISS compound were
reportedly allowed temporary entry to UN House Compound and remained in
close proximity of the main gate, eventually returning to their premises
when the situation was under control.

Both the government and the armed opposition officials confirmed Saturday’s
clashes.
