SITUATION OVERVIEW
Insecurity in Yei increased with active conflict between opposition forces and the Government of South Sudan in Greater Equatoria States caused displacement of conflict affected communities and blocking IOM’s access to key Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) screening sites. However, the peace process continued to advance between the Government and other opposition groups, with peace celebrations taking place throughout the country. Displaced communities, particularly in the Wau protection of civilian (PoC) adjacent area indicated greater intention to return home with the continued peace process. During the same reporting period, violent cattle raids in multiple locations throughout South Sudan, including Unity, has led to tragic death and displacement.
