Interviews with patients admitted New arrivals (since 15 Dec. 2013) to Juba Teaching Hospital with cholera have revealed knowledge gaps on how the disease is spread. Humanitarian partners called for improved access to safe drinking water, latrine use and good personal and food hygiene. 130,917 Old caseload before 15 Dec. 2013 The consultative meeting between the former Vice-President and leader of (covered by the regular budget) the Opposition, Mr. Riek Machar, and the President, Mr. Salva Kiir, hosted by the Kenyan President Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta on 27 June 2015 has not achieved 264,848 any breakthrough. The agenda for the meeting included discussions on Refugees in South Sudan contentious points of the recent IGAD proposal including questions of power- sharing, federalism and compensation for victims of the conflict. 1.5 M According to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), on 1 July Internally Displaced People (IDPs) three members of forces belonging to either the Sudan People’s Liberation Army In Opposition or the allied militia led by General Johnson Olony, who are currently controlling Malakal (Upper Nile State), opened fire on IDPs at a recently opened Protection of Civilians (POC) site in the UNMISS compound. BUDGET: USD 779.4 M One civilian was killed and six IDPs were wounded. The wounded are receiving treatment at the hospital in the UNMISS compound. The exact circumstances FUNDING: USD 172.5M surrounding the shooting incident remain unclear. UNMISS peacekeepers are currently engaging with senior commanders of the SPLA to identify the Funded perpetrators of this attack. 22% Gap 78% Population of concern for the situation since 15 December 2013 (as at 02 July 2015) A total of 2,420,665 people of concern Refugees in Ethiopia 211,260 Refugees in Kenya 46,237 Refugees in South Sudan 264,848 Refugees in Sudan 187,747 Refugees in Uganda 155,514 IDPs since 15 December 2013 1,555,059 03/07/2015 South Sudan Situation - UNHCR Regional Update, 68 RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Operational Context Based on a report issued by UNMISS Human Rights Division covering April-June 2015, UNMISS has found evidence of widespread human rights abuses allegedly committed by the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and associated armed groups during the recent escalation of fighting in Unity State. UNMISS staff members interviewed 115 victims and eyewitnesses from Unity State counties of Rubkona, Guit, Koch, Leer and Mayom where the SPLA launched a major offensive against armed opposition forces which started late April 2015. The survivors of these attacks reported that SPLA and allied militias from Mayom County carried out a campaign against the local population, looted and destroyed villages and caused the displacement of over 100,000 people. Some of the allegations compiled by UNMISS focused on the abduction and sexual abuse of women and girls, some of whom have been reportedly burnt alive in their dwellings. UNHCR carried out a targeted distribution of non-food items for refugees with specific needs in Upper Nile's Yusuf Batil camp, reaching 6,472 people. ©UNHCR/G. Le Couster, May 2015. Protection (IDPs) 74,000 IDPs have been biometrically registered in Bentiu Protection of Civilians (POC) site (Unity State); an additional 27,000 have been given registration tokens and await biometric registration. In Maban County (Upper Nile State), UNHCR carried out biometric registration of 96 newly-arrived IDPs in Dollo IDP site. 47 of these were screened out as illegitimate claimants. Some new arrivals are from Paloich, Malakal, Renk and Kodok. There were 13,999 biometrically registered IDPs in the county as of 25 June. As of 25 June, the estimated number of civilians seeking safety in six POC sites located on UNMISS bases is 142,170 including 78,308 in Bentiu, 28,663 in Juba UN House, 30,410 in Malakal, 2,289 in Bor, 2,135 in Melut and 365 in Wau. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) – www.unhcr.org 2 South Sudan Situation - UNHCR Regional Update, 68 Refugees Protection SOUTH SUDAN Thirty-three new arrivals were registered in Doro refugee camp (Maban County, Upper Nile State). They cited aerial bombardments in the Wodaga and Mayak areas of Blue Nile State (Sudan). Achievements and Impact A one-day UNHCR/partners training was organized for 75 block leaders in Ajuong Thok (Unity State) to define their roles and responsibilities, as well as camp administration and child protection methods. Identified Needs and Remaining Gaps Despite Maban County Commissioner’s efforts to meet Batil refugee community leaders and police, the relationship between the police and refugees remains a challenge as refugees tend not to report incidents to the police. The rise in crime and other anti-social behaviours are attributed to police officers deserting their posts, especially in Gendrassa. UNHCR held a meeting with the police to discuss their presence in the four refugee camps in Maban County. SUDAN Sudan has received 38,311 South Sudanese refugees in June, the highest monthly arrival rate since the start of the conflict. Refugees are arriving to White Nile, South and West Kordofan and Khartoum States. In the last week, 7,241 individuals have arrived, with an average of over 1,000 people per day. Achievements and Impact In Khartoum, on 28 June UNHCR trained 33 male community leaders in protection concepts, identification of extremely vulnerable individuals and referral pathways. The workshop is the third in a series which has also targeted South Sudanese women living in various open and residential areas in Khartoum State, with the aim of improving the overall underlying protection environment for South Sudanese in Khartoum. ETHIOPIA South Sudanese refugees continue to arrive in Gambella at a daily average rate of 130 people. Pagak, Burbiey, Akobo and Pochalla are the main crossing points. The total number of new arrivals from South Sudan, since 15 December 2013, is 211,260 individuals (208,125 in Gambella and 3,135 in the Benishangul-Gumuz Region). Ninety per cent of the adult refugee population is women and children. As per the provisions of the Standard Operating Procedures for continuous registration, UNHCR deactivated 1,534 individuals because they missed three consecutive food distributions in Pugnido camp. The killing of a young Nuer refugee by an unknown person in Pugnido camp instigated a conflict between Nuer and Agnuak refugee groups. This resulted in two more refugees being killed and six others being seriously wounded from both sides. The Government deployed security forces on 27 June and, with the mediation of key government officials, the rival sides agreed to cease hostilities. The disturbances hampered temporarily services delivery in the camp, but normal activities and movement have now resumed. Achievements and Impact Level II registration of the 1,676 refugees who were relocated to Tierkidi camp from Pagak and Akobo entry points was completed during the reporting period. 343 of the refugees are with various special needs, and 48 per cent of them separated children. UGANDA A total of 155,514 South Sudanese refugees have been assisted in Uganda since the influx began in mid-December 2013: 96,844 in Adjumani, 14,777 in Arua, 36,013 in Kiryandongo, and 7,880 in Kampala. New arrivals in Adjumani reported attacks in Canal County (Jonglei State, South Sudan) on 25 and 26 June 2015. Some civilians were reportedly abducted in the process and animals looted. Hunger was reported to be another major reason for flight. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) – www.unhcr.org 3 South Sudan Situation - UNHCR Regional Update, 68 In Adjumani, new arrivals are predominantly Dinka, followed by Nuer, with the remainder of other ethnicities. On average, 55 individuals per day are arriving, mostly women and children. The registration shelter in Nyumanzi Transit Centre has been destroyed by the wind during the heavy rain. A temporary shelter construction is planned. In Arua, new arrivals are crossing through Oraba border entry point in Koboko district, while others crossed through Keruwa in Yumbe district and Elegu border entry point in Adjumani district. Some are reportedly entering into Uganda via un-gazetted border points. In Kiryandongo, the daily average number of new arrivals registered has steadily increased from 50 to 70 over the last month due to the reported fighting in Unity State (South Sudan). Achievements and Impact In Adjumani, over 3,000 individuals benefited from the cash distribution. The cash transfer was reviewed as follows: South Sudanese refugees who arrived before the latest influx and who receive cash transfer interventions are provided with additional 15,000 Ugandan Shillings per month. Refugees from post-December 2013 who receive cash transfer interventions are given 28,000 Ugandan shillings per month. Persons with Special Needs (PSN) and on cash transfers receive 36,000 Ugandan shillings per month. In Arua, the Safe from Start watch group found that all of the recently installed 35 solar lights were operational. The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) provided psycho-social support to four domestic violence survivors. Some 260 women participated in an awareness-raising session on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and reproductive health in Boroli settlement. KENYA UNHCR continued to conduct border monitoring visits to Nadapal three days a week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays) to ensure that asylum-seekers received at the border have unhindered access to asylum and are treated in a dignified manner. No cases of refoulement or ill treatment were reported.

With Malakal as its capital, the state has 13 counties with Akoka being the most recent. Upper Nile shares borders with Southern Kordofan and Unity in the west, Ethiopia and Blue Nile in the east, Jonglei in the south, and White Nile in the north. The state has four main tribes: Shilluk (mainly in Panyikang, Fashoda and Manyo Counties), Dinka (dominant in Baliet, Akoka, Melut and Renk Counties), Jikany Nuer (in Nasir and Ulang Counties), Gajaak Nuer (in Longochuk and Maiwut), Berta (in Maban County), Burun (in Maban and Longochok Counties), Dajo in Longochuk County and Mabani in Maban County. Security and Political History Since inception of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), Upper Nile State has witnessed a challenging security and political environment, due to the fact that it was the only state in Southern Sudan that had a Governor from the National Congress Party (NCP). (The CPA called for at least one state in Southern Sudan to be given to the NCP.) There were basically three reasons why Upper Nile was selected amongst all the 10 states to accommodate the NCP’s slot in the CPA arrangements.

  • The Conflict in Upper Nile State (18 March 2014 Update)
    The Conflict in Upper Nile State (18 March 2014 update) Three months have elapsed since widespread conflict broke out in South Sudan, and Malakal, Upper Nile’s state capital, remains deserted and largely burned to the ground. The state is patchwork of zones of control, with the rebels holding the largely Nuer south (Longochuk, Maiwut, Nasir, and Ulang counties), and the government retaining the north (Renk), east (Maban and Melut), and the crucial areas around Upper Nile’s oil fields. The rest of the state is contested. The conflict in Upper Nile began as one between different factions within the SPLA but has now broadened to include the targeted ethnic killing of civilians by both sides. With the status of negotiations in Addis Ababa unclear, and the rebel’s 14 March decision to refuse a regional peacekeeping force, conflict in the state shows no sign of ending in the near future. With the first of the seasonal rains now beginning, humanitarian costs of ongoing conflict are likely to be substantial. Conflict began in Upper Nile on 24 December 2013, after a largely Nuer contingent of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army’s (SPLA) 7th division, under the command of General Gathoth Gatkuoth, declared their loyalty to former vice-president Riek Machar and clashed with government troops in Malakal. Fighting continued for three days. The central market was looted and shops set on fire. Clashes also occurred in Tunja (Panyikang county), Wanding (Nasir county), Ulang (Ulang county), and Kokpiet (Baliet county), as the SPLA’s 7th division fragmented, largely along ethnic lines, and clashed among themselves, and with armed civilians.

  • The Conflict in Upper Nile State Describes Events Through 9 October 2014
    The Conflict in Upper Nile State Describes events through 9 October 2014 On 9 May 2014 the Government of the Republic of South Sudan (GRSS) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army in Opposition (SPLM/A-IO) recommitted to the 23 January agreement on the cessation of hostilities. However, while the onset of the rainy season reduced the intensity of the conflict over the next four months, clashes continued. Neither side has established a decisive advantage. The Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) retains control of Malakal, the Upper Nile state capital, and much of the centre and west of the state. The period from May to August saw intermittent clashes around Nasir, as the SPLA-IO unsuccessfully attempted to recapture the town, which had been the centre of its recruitment drives during the first four months of the conflict. The main area of SPLA-IO operations is now around Wadakona in Manyo county, on the west bank of the Nile. In September rebels based in this area launched repeated assaults on Renk county near the GRSS’s sole remaining functioning oil field at Paloich. Oil production in Upper Nile was seriously reduced by clashes in February and March 2013, and stopped altogether in Unity state in December 2013. The SPLA increasingly struggles to pay its soldiers’ wages. On 6 September fighting broke out in the south of Malakal after soldiers commanded by Major General Johnson Olony, who had previously led the principally Shilluk South Sudan Defence Movement/Army, complained about unpaid wages. Members of the Abialang Dinka, who live close to Paloich, report that the SPLA is training 1,500 new recruits due to desertions and troops joining the rebels.
