Amnesty Reports UN and South Sudan Authorities Failed to Prevent March Massacre
Amnesty International reported that South Sudanese authorities and UN peacekeepers (UNMISS) failed to act on warnings weeks before a March 1 attack in Abiemnom County, South Sudan, where 213 people were killed. Armed men from Mayom County launched the assault, killing residents, security personnel, and foreign nationals, while burning homes and looting a hospital. UNMISS cited limited resources and focused on protecting civilians sheltering at its base. Amnesty called for stronger preventive measures and public investigations into the incident.
