Contribution to the stabilisation of South Sudan
Interethnic conflicts, humanitarian crises and neighbouring countries embroiled in civil war –the challenges facing South Sudan are immense, with a security situation that is tense and volatile. The primary challenge for the UN mission, UNMISS, is the risk of a violent outbreak engulfing the entire country. As part of this peacekeeping mission, three members of the Swiss Armed Forces are also deployed on the ground.
