New reservoir offers innovative solution to South Sudan cattle beef

A new reservoir built by the UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), supported by the Security Council, aims to address both humanitarian needs and conflict reduction in the region. The project, located in Terekeka, provides a reliable water source for farmers while reducing competition between farmers and cattle keepers over water and grazing land, which has historically led to tensions and violence. The reservoir's strategic placement allows both groups to access resources without encroaching on each other's territories. Local residents, including cattle keeper John Kenyi, expressed hope that the project fosters unity and improves living conditions, enabling families like his to invest in their children's futures. Community involvement was evident during construction, with local farmers and herders contributing labor and tools to help complete the project.
