Last week three people were killed and six others injured in a random shooting at Aneet market in Abyei Administrative Area.

Abyei chief administrator Kuol Diem Kuol alleged that the attack was carried out by armed youth from Twic County of Warap State.

A nurse working for the Medicines Sans Frontiers was killed and more than 50,000 people have also been displaced in the fighting.

As a result, UNMISS and MSF issued a statement condemning the attack.

The medical charity MSF and Save the Children suspended their operations in the area after several of its staff were displaced due to the recent conflict.
