United Nations peacekeepers and authorities in South Sudan failed to act on warnings before armed men attacked a village and killed more than 200 people earlier this year, Amnesty International said in a new report.

The findings come as South Sudan heads towards elections next month that many fear could unravel a fragile peace. “Both the government and UNMISS had sufficient information and time to take more effective preventive action.
