Women leaders in South Sudan\u2019s Greater Yei region are calling on men, including political and military leaders, to halt ongoing violence that continues to uproot families and deepen the humanitarian crisis in Central Equatoria State.<\/p>\n

Hellen Ciama, head of a local women\u2019s association, condemned clashes between government forces and opposition groups, saying they have left women and children \u201cdeeply vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fighting in Panyume, Morobo County, and nearby areas has displaced thousands,\u201d Ciama said. \u201cMany people are stranded in Pokula Boma without food, shelter, or healthcare. We are tired of war. People should focus on peace and development.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a pointed statement, Ciama warned that women may consider \u201csanctioning men from sexual relations for a year\u201d if violence continues, reflecting widespread frustration over the prolonged conflict.<\/p>\n

Local officials confirmed the scale of the displacement. Mabe Moses, director of the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission in Yei River County, said more than 2,000 people from Panyume are now sheltering in Pokula Boma.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the displaced are women and children, and they lack essential services, especially food, shelter, and healthcare,\u201d Moses said. He appealed for urgent humanitarian support.<\/p>\n

Pokula Boma Executive Chief Sebit Felix reported that over 2,000 households have fled Yaribe Boma in Morobo County and Marju Sub-Boma, but no humanitarian aid has reached them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not seen any aid since their arrival,\u201d Felix said, urging the government and humanitarian agencies to act swiftly. \u201cPeople are suffering without help, and insecurity is preventing many from returning home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Felix also called on armed groups to protect civilians, saying years of conflict have driven many families into exile. \u201cPeople are tired of fighting. Some remain stranded in Uganda because they fear the insecurity here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

International aid agencies have repeatedly warned of worsening humanitarian conditions in South Sudan, where nearly nine years of intermittent conflict have left millions displaced or in need of assistance.<\/p>\n
