BAN URGES PEACEFUL END TO CONFLICT IN MESSAGE BROADCAST TO PEOPLE OF SOUTH SUDAN
New York, Dec 25 2013 9:00AM
In an appeal broadcast in South Sudan on Wednesday, Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon renewed his call on its leaders to settle their
differences peacefully and pledged to help end the violence that has
wracked the world's youngest nation over the past 10 days.

"I want to assure you that the United Nations stands with the people
of South Sudan at this difficult time," Mr. Ban said in his
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7375">radio/video
message.

Escalating violence has led to hundreds of deaths and the displacement
of over 80,000 people in the country, which gained its independence
two years ago after seceding from Sudan. The conflict has been
increasingly marked by reports of ethnically targeted violence.

"We know many of you are suffering from horrific attacks. Families are
fleeing their homes. Many of you have lost loved ones and are
grieving. Innocent civilians are being targeted because of their
ethnicity. This is a grave violation of human rights," said Mr. Ban.

"South Sudan is under threat -- but South Sudan is not alone," he stressed.

Mr. Ban called on the country's leaders to settle their differences
peacefully and underscored their responsibility to protect civilians.
"I have warned all responsible for crimes that they will be held
accountable."

Yesterday, the Security Council, acting on Mr. Ban's recommendations,
increased the troop strength of the UN Mission in South Sudan
(UNMISS), which has been sheltering some 45,000 civilians who have
fled to its peacekeeping compounds for protection.

In a unanimously adopted resolution, the Council authorized a
temporary increase of 5,500 more troops and 440 more police, as well
as critical aviation assets to boost the capacity of the Mission which
currently has some 7,000 personnel.

Mr. Ban has noted that even with ongoing support, the strengthening of
UNMISS' protection capabilities will not happen overnight. "Even with
additional capabilities, we will not be able to protect every civilian
in need in South Sudan," he stated after the Council's action. "The
parties are responsible to end the conflict."
