UN feared the Civil War when barrel bombs fell in the upper Nile

The bombs of the barrels, which are thought to contain highly flammable liquid, have been used in air strikes in South Sudan, as the escalating violence pushes the most in the world to the edge of another civil war, the UN reported.

The comments of Nicholas High, the head of the UN mission in South Sudan, followed the latest fighting between the army and the rebel militia, known as the White Army, in a military base in the northern city of Nasir in the Petrol Rich, the Upper Nile.

As the White Army exceeded the base, there were constant air bombings causing “significant casualties and horrific burns,” he said.

“The conflict will delete all the hard -won profits after signing the peace deal in 2018,” he warned.

“This would devastate not only southern Sudan, but also the whole region that just can’t afford another war,” said d -n HaysomS

The government did not respond to bomb allegations.

President Salva Kiir and his opponent Vice President Rick Machar agreed in August 2018 to end the five -year Civil War, which died nearly 400,000 people.

But over the last seven years, their relationship has become increasingly harnessed against the backdrop of ethnic tension and sporadic violence.

In early March, several of Mahar’s most daring allies were arrested by the security forces, which his allies called a “serious violation” of the peace deal.

This followed the clashes between the Military and the White Army, which fought with the Machar during the Civil War, which broke out in 2013 – not long after the country won its independence from Sudan.

“In revenge, communities in the upper Nile are subjected to constant air bombing with the help of devices, barrel bombs, which is said to contain a highly flammable fluid that acts as an accelerator in the explosion,” said Haysom.

“These indiscriminate attacks against civilians cause significant casualties and horrific injuries, especially Burns.”

Similar allegations were made for the first time last week by local leaders in the upper Nile.

James Gatluak Lev, Commissioner of Nasir County, told the BBC that state forces and their allies had committed “chemical bombing”.

Local circles report that ethyl acetate, a highly flammable chemical compound, was found at attack sites.

In an earlier interview with BBC Edmund Yakani, head of a local non-governmental organization, he said he heard such reports.

Eyewitnesses, including leaders of the local community and business informants, have told their community about the CEPO (CEPO) organization for the use of “unusual weapons,” he said.

Government spokesman Michael Macuey confirmed that last week there was a military operation in the upper Nile, insisting that “the bombing is strictly against the positions of the White Army and did not harm civilians.”

But Hiisom said that civilians, including women and children, were heavily affected, with approximately 63,000 being forced to escape from their homes.

He added that such violence escalated as the country approached the election expected next year.

“Explined misinformation, misinformation and hate speech also increase tension and lead ethnic divisions and fear,” he said.

The UN mission, leading approximately 18,000 peacekeepers in South Sudan, is involved in an intensive graduation of Sawoy to try to prevent his return to the Civil War, added G -Hesom.

Meanwhile, Machar has accused neighbor Uganda of breach of UN’s UN embargo in South Sudan, conducting air strikes in the country.

In a letter seen by the Reuters news agency and addressed to the UN, the African Union and the regional Igad block, Machar said Uganda’s military intervention in South Sudan had violated the peace deal.

“Currently, the Ugandan forces are participating in air strikes against civilians in the Counts of Nasir, Longhuk and Ulang in the State of the National Nile and the Coob in the State of Yonggay,” the statement said.

Earlier this month, Uganda said she had unleashed troops in South Sudan at the request of President Kiir’s government, though Juba denied it.
