South Sudan: Eyewitness account of violence against aid workers

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

UN peacekeepers and the US Embassy have been accused of failing to respond when a compound used by foreign aid workers in Juba was attacked by armed men last month. Several women were raped, men were beaten and a South Sudanese journalist was shot dead in cold blood. It followed days of fighting between government troops and forces loyal to sacked Vice President Riek Machar. Gian Libot - one of the foreign aid workers targeted during the attack - gives his testimony to Focus on Africa's Hassan Arouni.
