]]> The Red Cross says it is dealing with more than 4 000 cases of missing people from eight years of civil war.

On the international day of  missing persons, it reminded government of their international obligation to prevent this.

South Sudan plunged into civil two years after becoming Africa’s youngest state in 2011.

More than four million people have been displaced by the fighting.

The International Committee of the Red Cross supports families searching for missing relatives.

This year it has registered 451 cases, bringing to 4275 the number of people missing since the war began.

ICRC representative James Reynolds says each case represents a family facing the agony of not knowing what happened to their loved one.
