In a bid to increase awareness of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan’s (UNMISS) role and mandate among communities of Jonglei State, the mission conducted a one-day community outreach in Akuideng Boma, township of Jalle payam, about 60 kilometers from Bor town.
Organizers discussed the mandate of the UN mission, and its role in the protection of civilians and peace consolidation, as well as its role in fostering long term state building throughout South Sudan, particularly in Jonglei State. The role of community leaders in promoting peaceful co-existence among all communities in Jonglei State was also discussed.
