Content_paragraphs:  In Jonglei and the Greater Pibor Administrative Area, interventions to convene
  
  communities for dialogue seem to have been successful in mitigating widespread
  
  violence, despite rumours of mobilization and sporadic clashes. The Mission
  
  facilitated separate consultative meetings between Murle and Lou Nuer young people
  
  and traditional leaders in Juba in early December. Both forums resolved to cease
  
  hostilities and pursue peace between the communities. On 25 and 26 January,
  
  UNMISS further supported the work of the high-level committee, led by the Vice-
  
  President, James Wani Igga, by airlifting approximately 100 traditional, youth and
  
  political leaders from greater Jonglei to attend a consultative forum led by the
  
  committee in Juba in January. The forum adopted resolutions containing
  
  commitments to, inter alia, a return of all abducted women and children, the 
  
  establishment of special courts, the cessation of cattle raiding and revenge attacks,
  
  the holding accountable of leaders who aid criminals in their areas and a call for
  
  comprehensive civilian disarmament across Jonglei and the Greater Pibor
  
  Administrative Area. In parallel, UNMISS peacekeepers conducted regular patrols in
  
  Jonglei to project their presence, increase security and support the delivery of
  
  humanitarian assistance. On 1 January, the Mission and its humanitarian and
  
  international non-governmental organization partners commenced preparations for
  
  the launch in February of a multi-agency community violence reduction programme
  
  in Jonglei supported by the joint UNMISS and United Nations country team
  
  reconciliation, stabilization and resilience trust fund.
