    On S. Sudan, ICP Asks of Fighting in Maridi, Malakal, Leaked Sit-Rep of UNMISS By Matthew Russell Lee UNITED NATIONS, September 18 -- Since the South Sudan peace agreement was signed by President Salva Kiir, saying that he had reservations, fighting and re-supply has continued through the closed-down Juba airport and barges then headed to Malakal. On September 17, Inner City Press asked UN Spokesman Stephane Dujarric: Inner City Press: I heard what you said from UNMISS about Maridi. And I wanted to ask you, there was a [situation report] put out by UNMISS, I guess, yesterday, but it says there was fighting on 15 September there in Maridi between SPLA [Sudan People’s Liberation Army] soldiers and the local population. Three civilians were shot in the incident, and people fled towards Maridi town for safety. First of all, I'm kind of wondering why UNMISS didn't make this public at the time that the army was shooting at civilians. But, two, is there any indication that this larger incident has anything to do with fighting? Spokesman Dujarric: I don't have any more details from UNMISS. Obviously, there's been quite… there has been a number of incidents of violations of the ceasefire, a violation of the agreement rather that was signed, the IGAD [Intergovernmental Authority for Development] agreement. The IGAD monitoring mechanism has reported them. Their website is public and they've put them out. As I get more information from the Mission, I'll share it. Obviously, the Mission is also working very closely with the IGAD monitors in providing them logistical support as they can. Inner City Press: I understand the ceasefire is one thing, but, the army killing civilians, isn't there sort of a UN role to report that? Spokesman Dujarric: I hadn't seen the [situation report]. I can look into it. More than 20 hours later, nothing. Inner City Press is publishing the UN situation report [sit-rep] here - it also reports on people needing to enter the UN's "protection of civilian" site in Malakal, but DOESN'T say if they were allowed in. We'll have more on this. Back on September 14, Inner City Press asked more questions - to Ugandan foreign minister Sam Kutesa, here, and to the UN Spokesman, transcript here and below. On September 14, Inner City Press asked UN Spokesman Stephane Dujarric to confirm that Riek Machar has been invited to the UN's meeting on South Sudan on September 29: Inner City Press: one follow-up on South Sudan. There are reports that Riek Machar says he's been invited and is coming to New York. Can you confirm? Has he been invited to the meeting on 29 September? Spokesman: I'll check. But on September 15, Dujarric did not announce anything. So Inner City Press asked again: Inner City Press: Salva Kiir has now said he's not coming to the UN General Assembly debate. Yesterday you said you'd check if Riek Machar has been invited. Spokesman Dujarric: Yes, the Secretary-General invited the signatories of the agreement on the resolution of the conflict in South Sudan for the high-level meeting he's having on 29 September, and we very much hope that it will be attended at the highest level, to ensure that the implementation of the agreement receives the fullest possible support from the international community. Inner City Press: Would it be disappointing if Salva Kiir didn't come? Spokesman: I think we would expect and hope the highest level.
