Content_paragraphs:  In March, UNMISS and the Office of the United Nations High Commissio ner 
  
  for Human Rights published a joint report on armed violence by community -based 
  
  militias against civilians in the greater Jonglei area occurring between January and 
  
  August 2020. According to the report, these groups are well organized, use military -
  
  style tactics, and, in the span of eight months, were responsible for the killing and 
  
  injuring of at least 1,058 persons from the Dinka, Nuer and Murle communities, the 
  
  abduction of 686 women and children and at least 39 confirmed cases of sexual 
  
  violence. The report underscored that incidents involving community-based militias 
  
  had been the major source of violence affecting civilians since the signing of the 
  
  
  
  S/2021/566 
   
  
   
  
  21-07328 12/18 
  
   
  
  Revitalized Agreement. Following the report and subsequent peace dialogues in 
  
  Jonglei, the Mission facilitated the release, family tracing and reunification of 
  
  63 abductees – an important step in rebuilding trust and fostering peacebuilding. 
  
  UNMISS provided transport for the returns between Pibor, Pochala, Pieri and Juba .
