Quote of the Day | Excerpts from UN Dispatch | Late April deadline set for Syrian chemical-weapons shipments Created for eleccion@yahoogroups.com |  Web Version   February 27, 2014 FOLLOW THE UN FOUNDATION     News covering the UN and the world SIGN UP | FORWARD | ADVERTISE | DONATE Top Story South Sudan wracked by human rights violations, economic concerns The United Nations peacekeeping mission in South Sudan has released an initial report on human rights violations, including ethnic killings, during the ongoing South Sudan conflict. Separately, writes Charlton Doki, the unrest could have been fueled by minimal private enterprise, too much reliance on the government for employment and a lack of jobs for youths. "I do think that the only way to bring stability and peace to South Sudan is through development," says Anne Lino Wuor, a legislator from Jonglei state.
