Arabic version: العفو الدولية تنتقد جنوب السودان والأمم المتحدة بشأن تحذيرات من مجزرة
According to France 24, Amnesty International said on Thursday, November 12, that South Sudan and UN peacekeepers failed to act on warnings of a massacre in March that left more than 200 people dead.
The rights group criticised both the South Sudanese authorities and the UN peacekeeping presence over what it described as a failure to heed the warnings before the attack. France 24 reported on the issue in a video published on November 13, 2026.
France 24 spoke with Donatella Rovera, Amnesty International’s senior crisis response adviser, about the organisation’s assessment of the response. The report identifies the March massacre and the death toll of more than 200 as the central focus of Amnesty’s criticism.
South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, was formed in 2011. Since then, it has been affected by civil war, poverty, corruption and intercommunal violence, according to France 24. Amnesty’s warning adds renewed scrutiny to the response of national authorities and UN peacekeepers when alerts of mass violence are raised.
