July 10, 2016 (JUBA) - The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS)
has expressed outrage at the resumption of violence in the capital, Juba,
saying it has severely impacted on the civilian population.

About 1,000 internally displaced people were reportedly forced out of the
UNMISS protection of civilians site into the UN premises at its base
located at Jebel, a Juba suburb.

“The heavy fighting downtown Juba has forced hundreds of civilians to seek
protection at UNMISS’ Tomping base,” the UN said in a statement on Sunday.

Heavy fighting occurred in Juba town, including in close proximity to
UNMISS compounds, with sustained impacts from small arms and heavy weapons
fire, the UN said.

The UN urged all warring parties to respect it sanctity, condemning any
“deliberate” targeting of its premises and personnel. It vowed to continue
protecting displaced people.

Meanwhile, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ellen
Margrethe Loej, directly called on the leadership at the highest level in
South Sudan to immediately restrain their forces, engage in dialogue to
find a political solution to this crisis and allow access to the UN to be
able to patrol in order to reassure the civilian population.

The UN Security Council "strongly condemned" the outbreak of fighting in
Juba between armed forces loyal to South Sudan president, Salva Kiir and
his deputy, Riek Machar.
