Storyline

More reinforcements arrived to South Sudan on Tuesday following a Security Council vote last week to nearly double the amount of peacekeepers to 12,500.

The United Nations mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) police (UNPOL) officers have been tasked with maintaining law and order in UNMISS IDP camps. SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Fred Yiga - UNMISS Police Commissioner:
“When people run into these camps they run in with all sorts of equipment. Some come in with guns. Some come in with machetes, knives. Some come in with alcohol. Some come in with uniforms. So our major preoccupation right now as UN Police is make sure we enforce Law and order in these camps and enforcing law and order in the camps means people being free from arms, from machetes and no machetes at all. We want co-existence in these camps. ”

With the numbers increasing in UN camps, security is key for these people who have had their lives interrupted by fighting that has been going on for the past 17 days. Because of the large numbers there has been a need to increase the force that manages the camps.

SOUNDBITE (English) UNMISS Police Commissioner:
“These are special police Units that are specially equipped to handle the kind of situation that we are in. So they are going to enforce, reinforce our UNPOL officers our UN Police Officers who are in the camps. To work together to make sure that we only have civilians over there and nothing else.”

To date there are 190 UNPOL reinforcements that have arrived in South Sudan.
