The United Nations announced that at least 80 people have been killed amid renewed violence in southern Sudan, according to Middle East Eye on February 11th.
UN officials report that the ongoing violence has forced thousands of civilians to leave their homes as they seek sanctuary in adjacent areas.
The UN mission in South Sudan, UNMISS, demanded an immediate end to the fighting and requests that all factions enter into dialogue. A UN spokesperson called on all armed groups respect human rights and facilitate humanitarian access.
