South Sudan on tenterhooks amid fears of war

The head of United Nations Peacekeeping has urged the Security Council to ensure that South Sudanese political actors' step back from a dangerous precipice amid fears that the country could spiral back into a civil war. Jean-Pierre LaCroix was addressing the Council days after the Secretary General Antonio Guterres condemned escalating violence in the country where nearly 10 million people or more than two thirds of the population, need life-saving humanitarian assistance but continue to face the brunt of conflict. La Croix warned of a political deadlock among the main signatories to the Revitalized Peace Agreement of 2018 that continued to drive heightened tensions that was manifesting itself in armed confrontations in many parts of the country.
