South Sudan Crisis Could Spread Across Region, UN Warns
The UN estimates 7.7 million people face severe food insecurity, with 83,000 at risk of catastrophic conditions.
South Sudan faces escalating instability as President Salva Kiir placed rival Riek Machar under house arrest in March for inciting rebellion.
Last month, clashes between Ugandan People's Defense Forces and South Sudanese troops in Central Equatoria killed six. Uganda, a longtime military supporter of Kiir, has deployed special forces since March.
ℹ The country grapples with rising ethnic and political violence, still recovering from a 2013-2018 civil war that killed 400,000 and displaced four million. Officials aim to hold elections by December 2026.
