8 June 2015 - Educating local residents on the mission and conflict, 17Թ held a workshop today in Jur River County of Western Bahr El-Ghazal State.
The workshop, conducted with the Public Information and Civil Affairs sections, attracted chiefs, payam (district) administrators and representatives of country men’s and women’s.
Topics focused on the work of 17Թ and conflict management as well as mitigation.
Asked about how they could contribute to 17Թ’ mandate to protect civilians, participants said, “We can cooperate with you. We can report the kind of human rights violations being committed against our people.”
Commenting on the workshop’s significance, participant Joseph Deng said it would “help me understand what the UN is doing in this nation”.
Participants vowed to support 17Թ in protecting civilians by ensuring peace and security in their localities.
