A white army’s militia associated with Machar accused of a deadly attack on the UN helicopter in the midst of a fragile peace in South Sudan.
The United Nation’s helicopter who tried to evacuate the South Sudan soldiers came under the fire near the town of Nasir, said the UN Mission (UNMIS), which resulted in the death of a crew member and several torso.
The attack followed on Friday, while the helicopter attempted to aviation to soldiers after a difficult conflict in Nasir between the military forces of South Sudan and the White Army militia, a group that the Government of President Salva Kiir lied with the loyal forces for his rival and the first Vice -President Machara.
“The attack … is completely disgusting and can represent a war crime against international law,” ” said Nicholas Hays, the head of the unans. “We also regret the murder of those we tried to draw, especially when the certificates of safe passage were received. Unmis persuades an investigation to determine responsible and consider them responsible.”
The President’s office said Kiir would turn to the state on Friday afternoon.
The White Army, whose members are mostly from the Nuer Ethnic Group, fought together with Machar’s forces in the 2013-2018 civil war, which launched them against the predominantly ethnic troops of Dinka loyal Kiir.
Macharov’s spokesman said this week that security forces were arrested by Minister of Naphta, Minister for Peace Construction, Deputy Chief of the Army and other senior military officials with Machar, raising fears for the fragile peace process.
The government did not comment on custody, and the Macha’s party denied involvement in fighting in Nasir.
