Hon. Ustaz Angelo Ngot Mayar Meets High-Level UN Delegation, Reaffirms Solid Partnership

November 3, 2026 - Council of Ministers, Kuajok.

A high-level United Nations (UN) delegation, led by Ms. Anastasie Nyirigira, Head of the UNMISS Regional Office, paid a courtesy visit to the Caretaker Governor of Warrap State at his office in Kuajok to brief him on ongoing activities in Warrap State and planned initiatives.

During the meeting, Caretaker Governor Ustaz Angelo Ngot Mayar raised concerns under his radar, including internal conflicts in the state, the ongoing drought, and armed cross-border criminal elements from neighboring states destabilizing Warrap.

He also called for appropriate and urgent response towards the drought, warning that failure to do so could exacerbate communal conflicts because of shrinking grazing areas, increased hunger, and livestock deaths - a source of livelihood for millions of people in Warrap and its neighboring states.

In response, the attending UN representatives agreed with the Caretaker Governor that the ongoing conflicts in Warrap State have caused immense suffering for innocent women, children, and elderly persons and need to be addressed.

They affirmed their commitment to redouble their efforts to support dialogue and provide training on community-oriented policing in an effort to apprehend criminals and deter crime.

Ms. Nyirigira also emphasized the need to build on the Apuk Giir and Marial Wau peace processes and to observe the Marialbai Agreement, which was concluded to safeguard peaceful relations between cattle keepers and farmers across the border between Warrap and Western Bahr el Ghazal States.

On a different note, parties at the high-level meeting agreed to cooperate with the state government in developing modalities for rehabilitating key internal roads in Warrap State to improve access to humanitarian services, boost trade, and enhance security in hotspot areas.

“Peace is the foundation for long-term development,” stated Hon. Ustaz Angelo Ngot Mayar, while urging humanitarian partners not to relent on their efforts to collectively support peace processes, together with the state government.

Present during the meeting include; Warrap State Caretaker Minister of Local Government and Law Enforcement Agencies, Hon. Severino Philip Bazia, and WFP plus Kong Koc consortium representatives.
