“I want the people of Warrap to learn from the people of Mading Aweil. The people of Mading Aweil do not fight and this does not require us to go to school or university to learn how to stop fighting among ourselves. These are things we need to see and hear.

If you do not understand, go to Mading Aweil and see for yourself. They do not fight among themselves; they only resolve issues through words. But in Warrap State, people always resort to fighting.

We need to learn from the people of Mading Aweil. This does not need to be learned from the University of Juba or Nairobi University, but from Aweil itself. The people of Mading Aweil have stopped fighting; when issues arise, they discuss them with words and do not fight among themselves.”

يونميس تُدين خطاب التحريض وتطالب بوقف العنف ضد المدنيين في جونقلي

جوبا – عمق الحدث | تقرير إخباري

أدانت بعثة الأمم المتحدة في جنوب السودان (يونميس) ما وصفته بـ«الخطاب التحريضي» الداعي إلى ممارسة العنف ضد المدنيين في ولاية جونقلي، معبّرة عن قلقها البالغ من تقارير تشير إلى أن قائدًا عسكريًا رفيع المستوى يحثّ القوات على ارتكاب أعمال عنف عشوائية ضد السكان، في وقت تشهد فيه الولاية موجة نزوح واسعة بسبب التصعيد العسكري.

وقالت البعثة، في بيان صحفي صادر اليوم الأحد 25 يناير 2026، إن الوضع الإنساني في جونقلي “مقلق للغاية”، مشيرة إلى أن أكثر من 180 ألف شخص نزحوا مؤخرًا جراء النزاع. وأضافت أن المجتمعات في جونقلي ومناطق أخرى من البلاد تتعرض لأضرار جسيمة بفعل تصاعد القتال، بما في ذلك مواجهات مباشرة بين قوات مرتبطة بالأطراف الرئيسية الموقعة على اتفاق السلام.

ونقل البيان عن القائم بأعمال رئيس البعثة، غراهام ميتلاند، قوله إن “الخطاب التحريضي الذي يدعو إلى العنف ضد المدنيين، بمن فيهم الفئات الأكثر ضعفًا، أمرٌ بغيض تمامًا ويجب أن يتوقف فورًا”.

التزام مُعلن… وواقع ميداني مضاد

ورأت يونميس أن استمرار الأعمال العدائية وانتهاكات وقف إطلاق النار يتناقض مع ما يعلنه قادة جنوب السودان من التزام بالسلام، محذّرة من أن هذا المسار يفاقم المخاطر على المدنيين ويقوّض الثقة في ترتيبات وقف العنف.

دعوة لوقف القتال والعودة للتوافق

ودعت البعثة قادة البلاد إلى إعطاء الأولوية لمصلحة المواطنين عبر وقف القتال والالتزام بتعهداتهم بموجب اتفاق السلام، مؤكدة أن ذلك يتطلب العودة إلى آليات اتخاذ القرار بالتوافق، والالتزام الصارم بترتيبات تقاسم السلطة، والاتفاق على مسار سياسي ينهي الفترة الانتقالية سلميًا من خلال حوار شامل.

حماية المدنيين أولوية

ويأتي موقف يونميس وسط مخاوف متزايدة من تأثير الخطاب التحريضي على حماية المدنيين، في ظل اتساع دائرة النزوح وتزايد الضغوط على المجتمعات المحلية. وشددت البعثة على أن أي دعوات لاستهداف المدنيين أو التحريض على العنف ضدهم تمثل تهديدًا مباشرًا لمسار السلام، وتتطلب موقفًا حاسمًا يضمن وقف الانتهاكات ومحاسبة المسؤولين عنها.
