The attempt to evacuate the United Nations was broken by deadly fire

Many people died in southern Sudan after the United Nations attempted to evacuate members of the national army, who were fire, according to the United Nations.

A crew died when a helicopter was shot at the United Nations. He added that the injured southern southern Sudan and several other forces were killed during an attempt to evacuate in the Upper Nile State.

The United Nations said that the attack on its fans “may constitute a war crime.”

The President of South Sudan, Salva Kiir, later said that a second helicopter managed to take off after the attack, only to destroy the land, killing all of them on board. But Unmiss said that both planes landed safely in Malakal.

Reuters news agency quoted twenty -seven southern Sudanese in total.

The weeks of fighting in the Alevi Nile threatened a fragile peace agreement between President Kiir and Vice President Rick Mashr.

In 2013, the rift between the husband sparked a five -year civil war, with 400,000 people killed and 2.5 million of their homes were forced.

A peace agreement has been signed in 2018, but the situation has been fraught since then.

The continuous fighting in the Alawite Nile is between the armed forces and the white army, an ethnic militia that was allied with Machar during the war.

In agreement with the White Army and the South Sudan Army, Unmiss the wounded forces were evacuated from the conflict zone.

UNMISS President Nicholas Heissum said in a statement that the attack on his mission employees was “completely hateful and may constitute a war crime under international law. We strongly regret the tragic loss of our colleague and express our sincere condolences to his loved ones.

“We also regret killing those who were trying to extract, especially when receiving safe traffic assurances.”

President Kiir said that the general of the army, who died in the attack, was General Major Dak, who led the forces stationed in Nasser, an area in the Alawi Nile.

Besides the fighting, a large number of arrests raised fears that South Sudan may witness a return to war.

A number of Machar’s allies, including the Minister of Oil and General Army, were held earlier this week.

After Friday’s attack, Kerner urged the nation to “adhere to calm.”

“I have repeatedly said that our country will not return to war. Nobody takes the law with their hands. The government that I lead, will deal with this crisis,” he said.

South Sudan is the latest country in the world, after separating from Sudan in 2011.
