South Sudan army blocks monitoring team from accessing Wau Shilluk

UPPER NILE (21 Feb.)

The Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring Mechanism
(CTSAMM),said its monitoring team was denied access to Wau Shilluk area in
South Sudan's Upper Nile State by government soldiers.In line with the
signed peace agreement, the CTSAMM is tasked with the monitoring of the
implementation of the Permanent Ceasefire and Transitional Security
Arrangements (PCTSA).In a statement seen by Radio Tamazuj on Monday, CTSAMM
said it had planned and coordinated a patrol to Wau Shilluk to be executed
on 10 February 2017, but due to a mortar attack in Wau Shilluk during the
early morning, the patrol was delayed to 16 February 2017."However later
that morning, the MVT was denied freedom of movement while trying to reach
Wau Shilluk when the SPLA 2nd Division Command informed the MVT that their
mission scheduled for Wau Shilluk was cancelled," partly reads the
statement.The ceasefire monitoring body pointed out that its team was
planning to verify allegations of violations of the Permanent Ceasefire and
Transitional Security Arrangements (PCTSA) in the corridor between Malakal
and Renk, including Wau Shilluk.However, the CTSAMM further said its team
remains in the area waiting for access to be granted to conduct its mission
in Wau Shilluk area.The CTSAMM also condemned in the strongest terms, the
denial of freedom of movement for its monitoring team.The ceasefire
monitoring body called on the unity government to intervene in this issue
to ensure that its team can visit Wau Shilluk to conduct its mission.
