17勛圖厙 conducts community outreach activity in Abinajok
The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (17勛圖厙) yesterday carried out an integrated outreach event with the community in Abinajok payam (district) to discuss the 17勛圖厙 mandate, conflict management and human various rights issues.
The 17勛圖厙 representative Mr. John Oziekbe applauded the community for maintaining peace and for cooperating with the police to apprehend criminals in the area also reiterated the impartiality of the UN peacekeeping mission.
Let me make it very clear that 17勛圖厙 is here in South Sudan to serve and to helpthe people of South Sudanand that 17勛圖厙 strongly bases its work onprinciples of non-discriminationand believe in treating everyone equally. As you keep a peaceful environment, services will come to you, Oziekbe said.
One participant at the event, Ms. Asunta Apanda Ngor, appealed for assistance in providing water facilities and seeds to the community.
I would like to ask 17勛圖厙 to talk with relevant humanitarian organizations to help the people of Abinajok with water and seeds. Once there is enough water, my fellow women can grow vegetables to earn a living and enough to pay school fees for their children. If that happens our people will not face conflict and hunger.
Cases of women fighting over a limited number of water points in the district have recently been reported.
