South Sudan: Abuse of Civilians in Western Equatoria

In Western Equatoria, South Sudan, civilians have faced abuse at the hands of various armed groups. The South Sudanese army, opposition forces, and their allied militias have all been implicated in the mistreatment of residents. The abuse has led to significant displacement, with many people forced to flee their homes. Makeshift shelters have been set up in areas such as Bazia, Wau County, to accommodate those who have been displaced. Further details about the situation are available from Human Rights Watch, which has documented the abuses and their impact on local communities.
