A Kobo in the remote far east of South Sudan. Widows of the ongoing almost four-year conflict in the country call for peace and humanitarian aid. The conflict has driven four million people, a third of the population from their homes, 71,000 including some of these women have come to a Kobo. Mary Nyako represents the group Women Widows. The problem that faces South Sudanese affects mostly women and children. Many of these people have fled fighting between government, SBA and opposition forces. A Kobo is poor, services are scarce, while the humanitarian needs are immense. It's also held by the opposition. Up to 15 local and international NGOs are providing humanitarian assistance in the town. The UN Peacekeeping Mission in South Sudan, Unmiss, is looking at ways of extending its presence in a Kobo to support the humanitarian response. That's in line with its mandate to protect civilians and help create an environment conducive to the delivery of humanitarian aid. Mikaelae Radlitchi from the NGO Acted welcomes the move. I think it will provide us as the NGO partners here a greater security and we will be able to expand our activities simply because we will feel that there is someone to protect us. And I think this will make an impact on our programming. It could grow and we could reach more beneficiaries in the area. The UN Mission did have a base in a Kobo. But it was closed down following an attack in December 2013 in which two Indian peacekeepers and 30 civilians were killed. The head of UNMISS David Shira traveled to a Kobo to meet the community and local authorities as well as the humanitarian. It seems to me that a presence here would be a very useful thing for us to have. So we have been speaking with the County Commissioner with many of the other officials here to see what sort of thing might be appropriate. Logistically, getting a large force in here will take us months just because of the difficulty of getting things here. But we are looking at what options are available for us to be able to expand our presence, give some added value to what is going on here. But at the same time, trying to keep our footprint relatively light. UNMISS remains impartial in the South Sudanese conflict. Mr. Shira says the mission needs to reach communities in all parts of the country regardless of their ethnic or political background.
