Humanitarian situation and needs
The Republic of South Sudan, three years into its independence, has suffered a tremendous political and social upheaval as divisions within the ruling party, the Sudan Peoples’ Liberation Movement, and fragmentation of its army, has turned into major violence engulfing significant parts of the Country.
The current conflict broke out in Juba, the capital of South Sudan, on 15 December 2013 and quickly spread to several other States. Despite the signing of a “cessation of hostilities” agreement on 23 January 2014, a recommitment to the peace process on 9 May and most of all the signature of a Peace Agreement on the 26th of August 2015 under the mediation of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the Troika (USA, UK, Norway), fighting between government and opposition forces has continued, especially in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile States.
At the beginning of 2016, the international community is still waiting for the government in place and opposition forces to discuss the detail and implementation of the peace agreement.
Our action in the field
PUI first launched an assessment in November 2014 to establish the possibilities of opening a mission in South Sudan.
PUI started its activities in the county in April 2015, by taking over the Majaak Kaar Primary Health Care Centre (PHCC) in Aweil North county, Northern Bahr el Gazaal State from MSF Spain.
