Ruweng authorities condemned the attack and called on Unity State government to bring the culprits to justice. Unity State officials denied involvement of Mayom County youth and instead blamed opposition SPLA-IO elements for the violence.

The violence highlights deepening instability since former First Vice President Riek Machar's arrest a year ago. President Salva Kiir signed a peace agreement with Machar in 2018 to end five years of civil war that killed an estimated 400,000 people.

A UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan warned that the country risks a return to full-scale war unless it can urgently end impunity and widespread abuses. The commission cited patterns of aerial bombardment and ethnically targeted attacks.
