The UN confirmed that six shells fired by SAF yesterday landed 150 metres away from an UNMIS base in Agok.
UN spokesperson Martin Nesirky said UNMIS was verifying the details of the attack.SAF claimed the shelling was part of an exercise, while the SPLA accused the northern army of selling its positions and intimidating the local population around Agok, in South Sudan.
The UN urged SAF and SPLA to stop military actions in Abyei that threaten the UN and the local populations in the area.
The Catholic Radio Network (CRN) is a media project constituted by community-based radio stations broadcasting in Frequency Modulation from Juba, Yei, Torit, Yambio, Rumbek, Tonj, Wau, and Malakal. CRN has also a station in the Nuba Mountains. All the stations share the same vision and mission, and are bound by common editorial and administrative policies. All stations broadcast shared programs in English: news, civic education, and other educational programs. Due to the heterogeneous realities of South Sudan, each station is rooted in its locality and broadcasts locally produced culture-sensitive programs in the languages which are understood by the local people. For its outreach, CRN has a potential audience of about seven million people, considering the influx of returnees to South Sudan after the Sudan Population Census 2008.
