Amnesty International reported that UNMISS and South Sudanese authorities failed to act adequately on warnings before the Abiemnom attack, which killed at least 213 people. The rights group called for public investigations into the killings and the peacekeeping mission's response. The UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan, known as UNMISS, knew an attack on Abiemnom, a remote area near the Sudan border, was likely but did not reinforce the roughly three dozen peacekeepers stationed there until after the assault. Between 1,000 and 1,500 armed men from neighboring Mayom County attacked Abiemnom on March 1, shooting residents, setting homes on fire and looting part of the hospital, Amnesty said.
