  injuries, abductions, forced recruitment and sexual violence, including owing to
  
  continuing tensions in Jonglei and the flare-up of violence in Central Equatoria,
  
  Warrap and Upper Nile. The Mission continued to respond to these threats through a
  
  comprehensive approach that combined the proactive, robust posture of peacekeepers,
  
  key leadership engagements with military and political counterparts, community -

  other programmatic activities tailored to address root causes of conflict.
