The UN mission in South Sudan has urged the unity government to urgently resolve a fresh conflict in the Tambura area of Western Equatoria state.The UN's peacekeeping mission, Unmiss, says this has endangered the lives of civilians and created the risk of further displacement.Unmiss head Nicholas Haysom says It is also vital that political leaders at the national and local levels take urgent action to resolve tensions and bring communities together to avoid further loss of life, homes, and livelihoods.Mr Haysom says insecurity had forced more than 40,000 people to flee their homes.He added that the situation had continued to increase the demand for humanitarian aid at a time when resources were already stretched.
