NP workers Andres Gutierrez and Derek Oakley on their experience of the violence in South Sudan

Andres Alejandro Gutierrez Garcia, NP Team Leader in South Sudan and Derek Oakley, NP International Protection Officer in South Sudan, speak about their first hand experience of violence in South Sudan.
On April 17, 2014 the United Nations Mission in South Sudan base in Bor was attacked. Two of NP's peacekeepers where at this Protection of Civilians area when the attack started. They took shelter in a mud hut with five women and nine children. These two peacekeepers stood between the civilians and the gunmen who approached them three times. By repeatedly clarifying their roles as humanitarian actors and by refusing to move, these peacekeepers effectively saved the lives of these civilians. In this interview Derek and Andres talk about their harrowing experience.
