Poor roads hamper UNMISS peacekeepers on a rescue mission.
Even those working at removing and disabling mines as well as other potentially lethal remnants of war are not safe from attacks, including ambushes by rebels.
This was forcibly brought home recently in South Sudan where Rwandan soldiers on peacekeeping duty with UNMISS (UN Mission in South Sudan) rescued
UNMAS (UN Mine Action Service) workers after they were ambushed in Longiro, 60km north of Torit in Equatoria.
The deminers are part of G4S Global team contracted by the world body’s specialist demining group.
The UNMAS team were returning from Torit with food and cash supplies for a sister team in Longiro when they were surrounded by about 30 gunmen at a roadblock.
