South Sudan Country Office Situation Report #56 - 23 Jan-5 Feb 2015

The situation remains relatively calm countrywide, but unpredictable. Intermittent clashes and intercommunity fighting were reported in some parts of the country.

The Government and opposition have signed a peace agreement in Addis Ababa under the mediation of the Intergovernmental Agency for Development (IGAD) and the international community to end the conflict that caused 1.5 million people internally displaced and may leave about 6.4 million people in need of humanitarian assistance by the end of 2015.
