UN police, SSNPS partner to provide security in Bor
The South Sudan National Police Services (SSNPS) and the United Nations Police (UNPOL) have partnered to bolster security and protection for the displaced community in the Jonglei State capital, Bor.
In 2013, when the civil war broke out in the country, thousands of people fled their homes for safety and sought protection at UN-protected camps, known as “protection of civilians sites” (POCs). But last year, the UN, citing improved security in parts of the country, handed over the security of the former POCs to the government, a move that ignited protests among the displaced across the country.
