“Not surprising there is some tension but ultimately it is calm. There is an air of normality about Juba at the moment. Somewhat surreal considering the conditions some of our civilians are having in the camp at the moment. So it’s a case of trying to bring those two together so that we can encourage the people who are in camp to go home. Albeit there’s absolutely no requirements for them to leave if they do not feel safe. So we maintain our policy and our mandate to keep them safe here.”

The United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) has resumed military patrols in country’s capitol Juba, following several days of clashes between government army forces and those loyal to former Prime Minister Riek Machar, dismissed in July.
The Mission has resumed patrols on a limited basis in the city itself and it restored flight service to and from the Ugandan city of Entebbe.
Major Kevin Finlay Walls, Military Staff Officer of UNMISS described the situation in the city.
“Not surprising there is some tension but ultimately it is calm. There is an air of normality about Juba at the moment. Somewhat surreal considering the conditions some of our civilians are having in the camp at the moment. So it’s a case of trying to bring those two together so that we can encourage the people who are in camp to go home. Albeit there’s absolutely no requirements for them to leave if they do not feel safe. So we maintain our policy and our mandate to keep them safe here” - Major Walls explained.
Life in the centre of city is seem to be returning to relative normalcy. However, the safety of civilians in the South Sudanese capital remains a concern, especially on the city’s outskirts.
Some 20 000 had sought shelter in UN compounds across the capital. UNMISS is providing water, sanitation facilities and medical care to those in need, according to Major Ludvig Lovgren, UNMISS Military Logistics Officer.
“ Whats going on behind me here now is one Water convoy. We have managed to assemble 35,000 litres of water which we are going to bring to the Refugees at the UN Camp.”- he added.
Meanwhile, the security conditions in the Jonglei State capital of Bor have deteriorated significantly. The violence triggered an exodus of civilians out of Bor, and thousands have sought shelter at the Mission’s compound on the southeastern outskirts of the city.
