Hintergrundinformation


Tensions related to the political and security situation persist despite the establishment of a unity government in April 2016, in line with a peace agreement between the parties to the non-international armed conflict that began in 2013. Clashes are still taking place between government troops and opposition forces throughout the country; some have occurred in previously stable areas.

Scarcity of resources, and ethnic and communal tensions, often lead to violent clashes between armed groups throughout the country. During the rainy season most roads are impassable and cholera and other diseases are a major threat, particularly in areas affected by armed conflict or other violence.


Owing to conflict and other violence, nearly 4 million people have reportedly been displaced; of these, 2 million are taking refuge in neighbouring countries. Among those displaced within the country, around 200,000 are staying in camps and at the "protection of civilians" sites run by the UN Mission in South Sudan. Many IDPs and residents live in remote areas. People there face difficulties finding and producing food, and, because access to water and health care is also problematic,are often at risk of malnutrition and disease.
