South Sudan, the world's youngest nation, was (海,煙などが)飲み込むd by civil war in 2013 after P 居住(者) Salva Kiir (刑事)被告 his 競争相手 and former 副 Riek Machar of plotting a クーデター against him.

An August 2015 peace 取引,協定 was left in tatters when fighting broke out in Juba in July last year.

暴力/激しさ -- 最初 between 民族の Dinka 支持者s of Kiir and 民族の Nuer 支持者s of Machar -- has since spread to other parts of the country, (海,煙などが)飲み込むing other 民族の groups and grievances.

The 国際連合 has 警告するd of 可能性のある 集団殺戮 and 民族の 洗浄するing and there is no prospect of peace in sight.

"The main 悲劇 of the 報告(する)/憶測 that has been 開始する,打ち上げるd today... is that the problem is man-made," said Eugene Owusu, the U nited Nation's 人道的な 調整者/コーディネーター for South Sudan.

"The を強調するing drivers have been there for some time and we have all known that we have a major food 危機."

He said 衝突 and insecurity for 人道的な 労働者s, who had 苦しむd attacks while carrying out their work, and the 略奪するing of "人道的な 資産s" had 悪化させるd the 危機.

In September last year, several 援助(する) 機関s had to pull out of the 飢饉-攻撃する,衝突する area of Leer because of 増大するing fighting between the two 軍隊s.

"I would like to use this 適切な時期 to call on the 政府, the warring parties and all actors to support 人道的なs to 供給する the necessary 接近 so we can continue to bring lifesaving services to those in need," Owusu said.
