When South Sudan decided to break away from Sudan in 2011, no one foresaw that they will be met with armed rebellion in full force. The death toll has risen since the conflict began and people are fearing for their lives and safety. Millions of people have fled their homes, leaving behind everything they earned, in search of a better future. And many more of different nationalities are left stranded.
Recently, the Indian army was deployed under the aegis of United Nations Mission In South Sudan to help with the guerrilla war. Another task force was sent in to oversee the smooth execution of Operation Sankat Mochan – a rescue operation to bring back our people from the conflict area in Juba.
