June 6, 2015 (JUBA) – Community leaders and politicians from South Sudan Western Equatoria state have demanded that the Sudan Peoples Liberation Army (SPLA) unit in its Mundri West county be relocated, owing to the gross misconduct of the soldiers.

The decision came after a one-day meeting held 27 May in the capital, Juba.

The leaders, in their resolution, strongly condemned the army's behaviours and indiscipline, which they claimed resulted in the recent tragedy in Mundri.

They appealed to the various parties in the area to desist from further escalating the situation.

“Commends the positive role played by SPLA [Sudan People Liberation Army] division commander for his swift act to contain the situation and transfer those indiscipline elements outside the county. Likewise, urges the community and youth not to take the law into their own hand and allows the government the address the crisis and the law to take its course”, partly reads a section of resolutions Sudan Tribune obtained.

Last month's meeting further resolved that a state high level committee comprising of 15 members be constituted to present their recommendations to president Salva Kiir.

“In this same spirit, the people of Western Equatoria emphasise their stand for peace in South Sudan, Western Equatoria and in particular “Mundri” and call upon the SPLM/A Leadership to restore peace to South Sudan before the independence of the South Sudan on July 9th 2015, and most particularly before the 10th anniversary of the death of late hero Dr. John Garang De Mabior on 30th July 2015,” it stressed.

The leaders also extended condolences and words of sympathy to family, relatives and friends of all those who perished in the recent tragedy, including the late Mundri executive director, John Keliopa, members of the police, wildlife as well as army killed.

South Sudan's minister of water and electricity, Jemma Nunu Kumba, Kiir's legal advisor, Lawrence Korbandy, deputy speaker of the national assembly, Jasmin Samuel, deputy governor, Sapana Abui, state officials, among others, attended the meeting.

Western Equatoria officials recently accused the army of being tribal and violent against citizens and their properties, citing the killings and chaos in Mundri county.

“The army needs to be a national army instead of being from one tribe who can go on rampage like they did. You see how Mundri town had been devastated by the very soldiers who are supposed to protect the citizens,” the state information minister Charles Kisanga told Sudan Tribune last week.

He warned of a likely rebellion outbreak of the security situation was not addressed.

June 5, 2015 (ADDIS ABABA) – South Sudan's armed opposition faction of the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement (SPLM-IO) led by former vice president, Riek Machar, said they have not received any official information about the published visit of the former detainees to their leadership for consultations on reunification process of the ruling party.

Former political detainees led by ex-cabinet affairs minister, Deng Alor Kuol, met with president Salva Kiir on Tuesday in Juba a day after their return from the neighbouring Kenya where they were released to in early 2014 and lived in the exile for over one year.

The mission, they said, was to revive the tripartite intraparty dialogue with the government which also included the SPLM-IO faction as per Arusha initiative on reunification of the three party factions.

Former detainees' spokesperson, John Luk Jok, after concluding the meeting with president Kiir and other senior party leaders in the government, announced that their team was also going to visit the opposition leader, Riek Machar, to discuss the process.

However, the rebel group said they did not receive from the former detainees any official information about their visit to Machar.

“Our leadership has not received official information or request about a planned visit by former detainees. We only read about it in the media,” Machar's spokesman, James Gatdet Dak, told Sudan Tribune on Friday.

He also said the opposition faction had an appointed team by Machar that handled the intraparty negotiations in Arusha and would likely take part in the consultative meeting with the former detainees if official request reached the SPLM-IO and was approved by the top leadership.

Dak earlier said the rebel leadership would be willing to accord the ex-political detainees a forum to hear from them.

June 5, 2015 (KHARTOUM) - Amnesty International (AI) has called for launching appeals to secure the release of 171 detainees including college students, politicians and civil society activists arrested by Sudan's National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS).

AI said it has received numerous reports since the end of Sudan's general elections in April 2015 that the NISS crackdown on activities of political opposition groups and civil society has intensified.

“In recent weeks more than 221 students from Darfur were arrested by NISS and the police after violent clashes between the National Congress Party (NCP) student supporters and students from Darfur in five universities in Khartoum,” it said in a press release.

According to the rights groups, 157 students were released on bail after having been charged with various crimes while 37 students were injured.

Mohamed Awad, a leading member of the NCP student organisation, was killed during clashing between supporters of the ruling party and students from Darfur region at the East Nile University in Khartoum North last April.

It added that currently there are 12 members of the opposition Sudanese Congress Party (SCP) in detention, saying that four of them are facing criminal charges punishable by death including complicity to execute a criminal agreement, undermining the constitutional system and calling for opposition of the public authority by violence or criminal force.

It also pointed out to the arrest of the secretary general of the Sudanese Consumer Protection Society (SCPS), Yasir Merghani, and the activist, Nasreen Ali Mustafa, who have been detained since 25 May.

It noted that Merghani has always been known for his strong presence on issues pertaining to consumers and corruption in the importation of goods, saying that Mustafa has raised concerns about the alarmingly high number of unreported incidents of sexual harassment and abuse in some schools buses in Khartoum state.

It should be recalled that NISS had seized copies of 10 newspapers from the printing press and suspended 4 of them indefinitely on 25 May for publishing Mustafa's statements.

The SCPS was formally established in 1998, it has been very vocal on consumer rights issues and corruption in regards to consumer goods. SCPS has been advocating for strong consumer protection legislation in Sudan.

AI stressed that NISS maintains broad powers of arrest and detention under the National Security Act 2010, which allows suspects to be detained for up to four-and-a-half months without judicial review.

“NSS officials often use these powers to arbitrarily arrest and detain individuals and to subject them to torture and other forms of ill-treatment”, it said
Under the same law, NSS agents are provided with protection from prosecution for any act committed in the course of their work, which has resulted in a pervasive culture of impunity.

The rights group further said the recent constitutional amendments passed by the Sudanese parliament on 5 January 2015, have exacerbated the situation, stressing they accorded sweeping powers to the NISS allowing it unlimited discretion to interfere in political, economic and social issues.

It called for sending appeals to president Omer al-Bashir and ministers of interior and justice to reveal the whereabouts of the detainees immediately and urge them to either charge the detainees with an internationally recognizable offence or immediately and unconditionally release them.

The rights group also said the appeals should call on the authorities to give the detainees access to lawyers of their own choosing and allow them visits from their families besides ensuring they are not subjected to torture or other ill-treatment.

June 5, 2015 (KHARTOUM) - A delegation from Sudan's native administration left for the United States on Friday to urge the US administration to lift the economic sanctions imposed on the country.

Isam al-Sheikh, a businessman who launched the popular initiative, said a delegation including 14 tribal chiefs would visit the US for two weeks, pointing they will hold meetings with congressmen and the state department officials.

Al-Sheikh, who spoke at a press conference on Thursday evening, said the delegation would focus on popular meetings to improve ties between the two peoples.

He pointed out that US senators will visit Sudan to assess the situation in the country particularly regarding claims of extremism and terrorism.

The Sudanese businessmen are the first to be affected by the sanctions which impose an embargo on the Sudanese banking establishments prevent them from dealing with the international banks.

The initiative targets civil society groups and congressmen with the hope that they can understand their point of view that the sanctions mainly affect only Sudanese people not the government.

Benjamin Moeling, deputy chief of mission at the US embassy in Khartoum, for his part, expressed his country's readiness to accept any initiative aiming to promote public diplomacy between the two countries.

He pointed that the American people welcome the visit of the tribal chiefs, saying they had earlier invited several Sudanese youth, media workers and businessmen to visit the US within the framework of the public diplomacy.

Sudan is on the US list of countries supporting terrorism since 1993 and also subjected to economic sanctions since 1997.

Last February, the Sudanese presidential assistant Ibrahim Ghandour concluded a rare visit to Washington where he held talks with senior officials at the White House and State Department.

The Sudanese foreign minister Ali Karti also visited Washington separately in February to participate in the National Prayer Breakfast together with US president Barack Obama and international dignitaries.

Following the visits of the senior Sudanese officials to Washington, the US Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour Steven Feldstein paid a five-day visit to Sudan.

During the same month, the US Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced that is amending Sudan's sanctions regime to allow exports of personal communications hardware and software including smart phones and laptops.

Washington acknowledges Sudan's cooperation in the fight against terrorism, but attached new conditions to normalizing ties related to the end of the conflicts in Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan.

Sudanese officials however, insist that issues of bilateral relations should be discussed without interfering in Sudan internal affairs.

June 5, 2015 (JUBA) – South Sudan's Upper Nile state government has resolved to relocate its headquarters to Renk, a town farther north near the Sudanese border, in the light of sustained fighting between rebels and government troops over the control of the oil-rich state capital, Malakal.

In the meeting held on Thursday, it was decided by the council of ministers in which it resolved to move to Renk, according to state information minister, Peter Hoth Tuach.

“The state capital [Malakal] was seriously destroyed during the recent fighting and the government currently has no buildings to operate in,” said Tuach, explaining to Sudan Tribune in a phone interview the reasons compelling the already displaced government to move farther away from battlefields.

“Renk has got buildings that the state government will work in, the same buildings will also be the accommodation for the officials and electricity supply in the area is stable,” he added.

Tuach said thousands of citizens of Upper Nile state, apart from the civilians sheltering in United Nations' (UN) Protection of Civilians (PoC) sites, had already been displaced to areas near Renk.

He said the government would now remain in Renk whether the rebels ceased attacking Malakal or not because, he explained, “the people of Upper Nile are displaced to Renk area.”

This would be the third time the state government of the war-ravaged Upper Nile has been relocated due to over year-long fighting between forces loyal to president Salva Kiir and the opposition forces loyal to former vice president, Riek Machar. Senior government officials last year relocated to Renk, but moved back to Malakal, in a seriously unstable situation as the town changed hands several times.

When fighting resumed in the town in April and rebels recaptured the capital, the state government officials fled to Melut town near Paloch oilfields and operated from there. However, the state governor Simon Kun Puoch fled to the national capital, Juba, where he was issuing directives from a distance.

Rebels have also claimed to target Renk town, which came under shelling several times in the past few months. But when government forces took control of Wedakona on the west bank of the White Nile, it became an ease in securing the border town.

Rebel sources renewed claims Renk would soon join the list of their priority targets together with the two remaining oil producing oilfields of Paloch and Adar where government troops have been deployed to defend it.
