Initial Rapid Needs Assessment (IRNA) Questionnaire, Adior and Nyang-Yirol East, 3 July 2014 IRNA Reporting format – Draft V.1 18 Sept 2012 Initial Rapid Needs Assessment (IRNA) Questionnaire, Adior and Nyang-Yirol East, 3rd July 2014 1 IRNA Reporting format – Draft V.1 18 Sept 2012 Situation Overview Following the Dec 15 2013 political and security incidents in Juba, fighting ensued, in Juba and eventually other parts of the country between Government and AGFs in which, according to the UN thousands of people were killed and thousands more displaced, the majority of them into UN bases. In Jongolei where many civilians were also killed amidst the fighting, about 100,000 also sought refuge in Awerial County in the Lakes where humanitarian agencies are responding to their needs. Although difficult in the beginning, more than 40 humanitarian partners including 5 UN agencies are now responding to the needs of the IDPs in the areas of WASH, Health & Nutrition, NFIs & ES, FSL, Education and Protection. The operation is going on generally smoothly with no major gaps or challenges, and relocation to the new site given by the authorities has now begun. Active hostilities between the government and opposition forces ensued in the months following and in may such locations there have been displacements and human causalities, as well as the destruction, burning and looting of property. In Panyijar County in Unity State fighting between government and opposition forces lead to the destruction of property and livelihoods as well as displacement of civilian populations. RRC in Rumbek received reports that 300 Nuer households had fled fighting and hunger in Panyijar to take refuge in Nyang and Adior Payams in Yirol East County where the two tribes have ties through historical inter-marriage. An inter-agency team composed of OCHA, WFP, UNICEF, Plan International, NP and Sign of Hope visited the area on the 3rd July to conduct an assessment so that the IDPs can be assisted. Map Drivers of Crisis and underlying factors Place map of affected area if available Nuer IDPs from Panyijar in Unity State who took refuge in Adior and Nyang in Yirol East, reporting hunger and fighting as the reason they fled.

However the IRNA inter-agency team only found Key Priorities about 60 HHs in Adior and 40 HHs in Nyang Payams.

For now it is only the Nuer IDPs from Panyijar County who have season as heavy rains come to seek refuge in Lakes State. cut off key supply food The main threats to the population in the short and medium term lines. is the fact that the host community themselves do not have enough food to continue sharing with the IDPs. The coping mechanisms of the IDPs have been exhausted. 2 IRNA Reporting format – Draft V.1 18 Sept 2012 They now need urgent assistance from humanitarian partners. Humanitarian Access There are so far no logistical or humanitarian access constrains; however with the increasing rains the roads are fast deteriorating and thus significantly affecting delivery of relief items. No presence of mines or UXO reported that could affect response. - Findings (use the information gathered under the cluster specific sections of the IRNA questionnaire) Photos FSL In Adior Payam of Yirol East County, the IRNA team found a group of Insert photos from the community level persons said to have come from Panyijar County of Unity State as assessment that provides in-depth view of was reported by RRC. situation. IDPs interviewed reported coming from locations such as Pacaar Payam in Panyijar County of Unity state in late June. There were Photos reports of family members dying along the way due to exhaustion and hunger. Some reported travelling all the way to Adior rather Insert photos from the community level than going to Ganyiel (which is closer and where food assistance is assessment that provides in-depth view of available) because they felt they may not have access to the food situation. being distributed there. IDPs reported feeding on water lilies and its roots while in Pacaar, hoping that things could change, but eventually leaving for Adior Payam of Yirol East due to family connections and hope for better assistance. Majority of the arrivals seen in Adior were single mothers, old men and women. In Nyang Center, it was also reported that there were Nuer IDPs who had arrived there. The IRNA team conducted interviews, and found that there were also few family members of Nuer without their husbands but only their kids. They cited hunger as being the main reason that forced them to come to Nyang, and that there was a general fear of attack by government forces that people are always running to bush for shelter. The IRNA team concluded that 60 HHs in Adior and 40 HHs in Nyang be considered for assistance in-the-interim, while waiting for verification and registration to be done. There was a total of 100 Nuer IDP HHs for both locations. In Nyang the team recorded a household of a woman who had come from Upper Nile and whose condition was bad as she had not received any assistance. This was added to make 101 HHs to be assisted. The IRNA team also strongly recommends that WFP considers erecting a Rub Hall in Nyang which would cater for the greater Yirol in light of increasing rains and the fact that the roads from Yirol to Kalthok and Yirol to Rumbek will be virtually cut during the rainy season. Health NFI & ES: In both Adior and Nyang Nuer IDPs spoken to by the IRNA team 3 IRNA Reporting format – Draft V.1 18 Sept 2012 complained of a general lack of NFIs/ES including sleeping materials, kitchen utensils, water containers and temporary shelter materials.

    Tribute To Isaiah Abraham Compiled By of Liberation The PAANLUEL WËL Dark [email protected] Ages http://paanluelwel2011.wordpress.com/ Isaiah Abraham in his own words AU force extension in Darfur, a victory to NCP not to SPLM By Isaiah Abraham* Mar 14, 2006 The drama that led to the extension of African Peacekeeping Forces in Darfur has nothing to do with the Sudan as a whole or SPLM as a party as propagated by those who are against the marginalized people of the Sudan. Darfur is bleeding and should have been saved. The man at the helm of this ‘victory’ is none other than Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin, the Sudanese Foreign Minister from the SPLM Party. Although it is not that easy to satisfy all interests in a coalition the least an astute politician could do or could have done was to compromise not his/her fall back base, no matter the enticement or attraction the players in that political scene. The Minister went out full blast to contradict his boss, President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his colleague in the Government of Southern Sudan (GOSS) Mama Rebecca de Mabior. President Salva was unequivocally pressed that NCP partner is not serious in its willingness to resolve Darfur crisis. Did anybody hear the President or other Southern politicians or the Southern public unease about UN peacekeeping forces intervention in Darfur? Where there demonstrations in the Southern cities in condemnation of the United States or the United Nations or Jan Pronk? Certainly there weren’t and there will not be any protest against presence of UN in any part of the Sudan.

  • The Conflict in Unity State Describing Events Through 1 July 2015
    The Conflict in Unity State Describing events through 1 July 2015 Over the last two months, a Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) offensive swept through southern Unity state, razing villages, killing civilians, taking cattle, and abducting women. Initially, it seemed as if the offensive had effectively destroyed the Sudan People’s Liberation Army in Opposition (SPLA-IO) as an organized military force in Unity state. In April and May 2015, the SPLA pushed south from Bentiu, the state capital, rapidly overrunning SPLA-IO positions in Guit and Koch counties, before attacking Leer county. These attacks displaced more than a hundred thousand civilians. SPLA forces also pushed northeast from Lakes state, and attacked SPLA-IO positions and villages in Mayendit and Panyijar counties. Having driven the SPLA-IO from southern Unity—the wellspring of rebel support in the state—much of the SPLA involved in the offensive withdrew to Bentiu, before attacking Panakuac, the main SPLA-IO military base on the Sudanese border, and routing the rebels, who fled into Sudan. During the SPLA’s southern offensive, the SPLA-IO generally chose not to engage, and its soldiers slipped into the bush. After the SPLA’s withdrawal, the SPLA-IO rapidly retook the territory it had conceded, and by the end of June, was again present in Leer and Guit counties, as well as in the southern counties of Mayendit and Panyijar. In its campaign in southern Unity, the SPLA were aided by Bul Nuer fighters, recruited by Matthew Puljang, and promised a share in the spoils of war. In mid-June, the state government issued an announcement, which warned that anyone not aligned with the SPLA-IO should move their cattle to Bentiu.
