United Nations, New York, 19 July 2009 - The latest report of the Secretary-General to the Security Council on the UN Mission in Sudan is out as a document today. In the report, the Secretary-General notes a deterioration in the security situation in Southern Sudan, saying that escalating inter-tribal violence in Southern Sudan is a significant threat to the stability of the country as a whole. He warns key milestones in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement such as the elections and referendums could easily be affected by the growing insecurity. Under-Secretary for Peacekeeping Operations, Alain Le Roy, will be briefing the UN Security Council on the report tomorrow (July 17).
