Nepalese Peacekeepers Deployed to South Sudan Hotspot to Strengthen UN Presence and to Better Protect Civilians
|
The arrival of 150 Nepalese peacekeepers in Torit is enabling the United Nations
Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) to extend its presence through increased patrols
across the eastern Equatorian region of South Sudan to help protect civilians and build durable peace.
The Nepalese ‘blue helmets’ are strengthening UNMISS’s ability to react to the unpredictable and volatile security situation in the area, characterized by the intermittent outbreak of conflict and recurrent tensions. Their continued presence will help UNMISS boost security to create a safe and stable environment for the South Sudanese people, and will boost the ability of the Mission to facilitate peace talks in the region.
