Twenty (20) United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) workers were rescued by Rwandan peacekeepers and United Nations Mission Observers from UNMISS(United Nations Mission in South Sudan), after being ambushed in Longiro, an area some 58 kilometres north of Torit, the capital and largest city of Eastern Equatoria State in South Sudan. Those 20 UN workers were part of a team from G4S Global contracted by UNMAS. “We found them shaken and terrified; some of them had suffered injuries from the attack. They told us they had not slept for five days and were relieved to see us,” stated Major Aime Uwimana, commanding officer of the Rwandan troops.
