UNMISS adjusts field footprint in Yei
On a subdued morning in Juba, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan confirmed it has closed its outpost in Yei, Central Equatoria State.
The announcement emerged during talks between Civil Affairs Field Officer Victor Fasama and Governor Emmanuel Adil.
Dialogue with Governor Emmanuel Adil
Fasama briefed the Governor on plans to direct Yei operations from the mission’s Juba headquarters.
He said staff presently stationed in Yei would relocate to Juba while maintaining full coverage of the county.
“We are not leaving the state; it’s just a closure of one office,” Fasama emphasised after the meeting.
Assurance of sustained support from Juba headquarters
He noted the team appreciates Governor Adil’s vision and remains committed to working closely with the state administration.
UNMISS further assured Central Equatoria residents that existing support programmes for Yei will proceed uninterrupted from Juba.
