The UN Security Council has condemned increased fighting between the government and the SPLA-In Opposition in Upper Nile and Unity States.

Conflict erupted on Friday evening in Malakal between the government and forces loyal to Johnson Olony.

The government says the Olony collaborated with the SPLA-In Opposition and the Sudanese government to attack its forces.

Meanwhile, in Bentiu fighting has been reported last week between the two warring parties.

The United Nations says more than 100,000 people have been displaced.

Due to the fighting in both states, humanitarian agencies and organizations suspended the delivery of relief aid, affecting more than 300,000 people.

In a statement issued last evening, the UN Security Council further condemned all human rights violations and abuses and demanded an immediate end to them.

“The members of the Security Council condemned in the strongest terms the repeated violations of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement … and underscored that there is no military solution to this conflict,” it said.

The 15 members’ body also expressed concern about the worsening of the humanitarian crisis in the country.

It renewed its call for the parties to the conflict to allow delivery of humanitarian aid to affected people.
