“This visit will enable Ladsous to take stock of progress, achievements and challenges encountered by South Sudan and the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) in the past 12 months,” says a UNMISS press statement released on Thursday .
The USG will also meet with the Head of Mission/Force Commander of the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) to get an overview of UNISFA’s mandate implementation, its accomplishments and challenges.

The USG will also travel to Jonglei State to assess current conditions on the ground affecting the implementation of the UNMISS mandate to protect civilians and will meet local authorities including the Governor of Jonglei Kuol Manyang Juuk, the UNMISS staff and military peacekeeping contingents.
“Ladsous will also take this opportunity to recognize the contribution and sacrifice of all peacekeeping personnel towards the implementation of the Mission’s mandate and will pay special tribute to the UNMISS civilian and military staff who lost their lives in the service of peace in South Sudan,” says the press statement.
Ladsous in November 2011 came to South Sudan in a week-long visit to the peacekeeping missions in the country.
