French supermajor Total said on Tuesday the exploration for oil over a large area in South Sudan's Jonglei state will commence, which has been scheduled for a new oil pipeline project. However, United Nations says the recent violence in the area has displaced 120000 people in recent weeks. Locals from the Likongole village have begun returning back to their homes, but say the tribesman destroy their properties.. "All the houses were burned down and everything has been destroyed. We only remain with nothing and we remain with only a trace there is nothing there is no people and the people that are now coming are civilians but the townies ran away, some of them were killed and few of them are now in Pibor. So we have only a few civilians who are just coming from the bush. The Likongole of today is now bush, it is a desert," Likongole resident, Juma, said. The escalating fighting has affected mostly women and children following live stock theft. In late December 2011, the main Murle town of Pibor was attacked by 6000 armed Lou Nuer tribesmen, leaving at least 2000 people dead, according to local authorities. The UN World Food Programme says it is trying to feed the victims who fled and had many of their grain stores destroyed. Shelters and medical supplies are also being distributed. Meanwhile, WFP stocks may only feed some 80000 people to last two weeks.

The Food and Agricultural Organization declared Somalia famine free on Friday, after a season of remarkable harvest but warned of its reappearance in 100 days if farmers are not provided proper aid and support. Aid agencies have been able to address issues of famine in the African country but received a bout of good luck with rain. According to Jose Graziano, the United Nations food and agricultural agency's Director General, the recent harvest in Somalia was twice the average of the past 17 years, lowering food costs but the mortality rate in southern Somalia is still one of the highest in the world. "We got this season more than 200 percent improvements in some food staple crops and we can do that if we are able to support the farmers in this forthcoming 90 days. We have less than 100 days to avoid another famine in the region, that is the important message," said Graziano. The UN said the number of Somalis threatened with starvation had decreased from 750000 to 250000 in November last. "The good news does not mean that the crisis is over. We still have a huge problem in the region particularly in Somalia and also in other countries that you know are facing similar situation like the Sahel region in particular the South Sudan," added Graziano. Despite delivery of aid to camps in the country's capital Mogadishu, fighting continues to affect southern Somalia, making it difficult for aid workers to reach victims.
