UNMISS Engineers Repair Vital Road in Unity State, South Sudan

Since 2021, catastrophic flooding has wreaked havoc on roads in Unity State, South Sudan, making it difficult for communities to access essential goods and services. The main supply route from Bentiu to Leer has been severely impacted, hindering the delivery of humanitarian aid.

In response, Pakistani engineering peacekeepers from the United Nations Mission in South Sudan have taken on the task of renovating the 140-kilometer stretch connecting Bentiu to Leer, Koch, and Mayendit counties. This initiative aims to facilitate the safe and efficient delivery of aid to those in need, especially in towns like Leer, Koch, and Duar.

Major Hilmi Munsif, the Chief Operations Officer of the Pakistan engineers, emphasized the importance of maintaining the road to ensure that aid organizations can reach vulnerable populations affected by flooding and conflict. The road not only serves as a vital lifeline for residents but also plays a crucial role in promoting trade, economic growth, and security in the region.

Residents, while appreciative of the efforts of UNMISS peacekeepers, are calling on the State Government to provide long-term solutions for road maintenance. Nyakuoth Gai, a traveler in the area, stressed the need for access to murram (gravel soil) to ensure that the road remains usable throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions.

Improving access to essential services and promoting security in Unity State are key priorities for UNMISS and its peacekeeping efforts. By repairing and maintaining vital infrastructure like the Bentiu-Leer road, peacekeepers can contribute to a more stable and secure environment for the local population.
