The United Nations is exploring the option of re-establishing a peacekeeping base in the conflict-ridden region of Yei.
This is in response to a plea by Political leaders, religious and community groups urging the UN to provide protection for civilians who are unable to travel beyond the town itself because of ambushes and ongoing violence.
The Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of UNMISS David Shearer visited Yei on Thursday, to assess the need for a base in the area which is continuing to experience violence and human rights abuses, including murder, rape, torture and looting.
Daniel Dickinson, UNMISS spokesperson has more in this weekly Roundup.
