South Sudan army battalion which was initially dispatched to Western Equatoria State ahead of a peacekeeping mission to the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo has embarked on farming after the government postponed the mission, an army officer said.

South Sudan army battalion which was initially dispatched to Western Equatoria State ahead of a peacekeeping mission to the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo has embarked on farming after the government postponed the mission, an army officer said. 

Colonel Malual Johnson, head of the battalion, said they have decided to cultivate because they have been in the area since June 2022 without proceeding to the DR Congo where they were supposed to be and revealed that their mission has been postponed.

“We arrived in Western Equatoria State on June 11, 2022, and up to now we are staying peacefully with the entire population after our mission to the DR Congo was postponed. We thought of how we could live,” he said. Sudan's Post
