The UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) said Thursday it has stepped up efforts to maintain peace in Malakal town, Upper Nile State, following the death of several people last week due to violence.
UNMISS said it will continue to support efforts to protect civilians and maintain calm through intensive patrols and engagement with affected communities.
