Armed conflicts: Emergency situation in South Sudan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the end of March 2025, the coordination office in Juba has been temporarily closed for security reasons. Our office, which is located near the presidential palace - a place where the first military clashes began in 2016 - is monitoring the escalating situation on an hourly basis. This fighting is part of the long-running civil war in South Sudan, which is based on profound political and ethnic tensions. The 2018 peace agreement has been broken several times: On behalf of President Salva Kiir, Ugandan troops are carrying out targeted airstrikes in strategically important regions such as Upper Nile (Nasir, Ulang and Akobo). At the same time, opposition leaders such as Riek Machar and his wife are placed under house arrest and other opposition ministers are imprisoned. Crime has also risen in Juba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These military actions and repression, an expression of an internal power struggle between forces loyal to the government and opposition groups, have meant that the Upper Nile region is no longer considered safe and conflicts are breaking out in various areas. Insecurity is also on the rise in Juba, particularly because many of our partners from the Nuer community are staying at home, hiding or fleeing to neighboring countries for fear of reprisals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the tense security situation, our partners are trying to carry out the projects as usual. However, the situation in Muhabba is made even more difficult by the war in Sudan. Even more children have been admitted there and every centime is urgently needed for food and non-food items. In addition, a cholera outbreak, also in Juba, has further exacerbated the already difficult conditions since last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency aid: Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The humanitarian situation in South Sudan requires comprehensive measures to ensure the survival of population groups directly affected by disasters and violent conflicts. Thanks to coordinated emergency aid measures, the basic needs of those affected are covered and long-term prospects are created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People affected by disasters are supported in rebuilding their livelihoods. Through targeted vocational training, refugees are given the opportunity to earn their own living and lead a self-determined life. In addition, traumatized people are offered psychosocial support so that they can come to terms with what they have experienced. Targeted preventive measures reduce the vulnerability of local communities and enable them to respond effectively to crises through organized measures. Dialogues are also initiated to initiate the peace process. These bring conflicting parties together to resolve problems peacefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
