About 15 directors of the South Sudan National Police Services in Aweil town in Northern Bahr-el-Ghazal State have received training on how to handle children in conflict with the law, human rights, and the role of the police in protecting and promoting the rights of detainees.
“We also learnt that the South Sudan police will soon be responsible for law and order and the protection of internally displaced person living in camps that used to be protected by the peacekeeping mission,” said Lieutenant Colonel, Musa Uger Upiero, referring to the planned transitioning into camps of the two remaining protection of civilians sites in Bentiu and Malakal.
