Highlights SPLM to disown members of political bureau who do not support its vision and policy South Sudan News Agency Juba, 5/8/2013 – The ongoing political squabbling among members of the South Sudan’s ruling party has taken an unlikely turn. Leading figures of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) have ordered a clandestine restructuring of the party with intent to identity and root out any member whom the party sees as a menace. The decision to reorganize the party was made and implemented without the knowledge of the entire leadership. The latest development, if put into practice, will define the future of the SPLM. In a memo circulated among party’s elites and obtained by the South Sudan News agency, the group tasked with finding the fix for the party’s internal problems has come up with a resolution that could mean either success or collapse of the party. “Our main objective is to disown members of political bureau who do not support the vision of the party. Any member who doesn’t agree with party’s platform must be rooted out”, the 1493 words document reads in part. (Back to Top/Headlines) Caucuses united to support President Kiir on lean cabinet Gurtong.net Torit, 6/8/2013 – The Executive and Legislature caucuses have united to support the President of the Republic of South Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit on his latest move to reduce the size of government. The Eastern Equatoria Caucuses have also welcomed and reiterated a call for urgent investigations of Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) Secretary-General Pagan Amum including the Country’s former Vice President Riek Machar Teny over their misconduct towards the leadership of the country and the party. The SPLM State Chairperson Louis Lobong Lojore who doubles as the state governor convened the meeting with key SPLM state Secretariat leadership were they the current political shakeup at the national level which is expected to follow the suit across all the 10 states. The state SPLM Chief Whip Hon. Tobiolo Alberio Oromo who spoke to the press after the joint meeting of the two caucuses said therte is need for investigations into misconduct towards the leadership of the party as manifested in the recent weeks by the suspended Pagan Amum and former vice president Riek Machar. The SPLM Deputy Chair Felix Okanyi Remijo who doubles as Party’s Secretary General told the press that the governor briefed the joint caucus accordingly about the latest national reshuffle and formation of the lean government. “We need [the] house to be clean. Chairperson Salva Kiir must be given another chance to lead the Party even in the coming third Party convention,” Okanyi said. The Eastern Equatoria State Governor Louis Lobong Lojore had last week said that South Sudan’s former Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny is responsible for the mistake he made to challenge the president on the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) leadership. He noted that Riek Machar’s actions and utterances in the media announcing his plan for the SPLM chairperson candidature led to his removal from the position. “We all did not accept and appreciate his utterances. First of all Riak Machar as one of the key members of SPLM, has been Vice President has been delegated all powers by the President since the establishment of the six and a half year interim semi-autonomous government of the then Southern Sudan all the way to the 2010 elected Government until the present government of the Republic of South Sudan which came as a result of self-determination of 2011 referendum secession vote,” he said. 2 He said that any achievement by the government had been because of two of them; Riek Machar and President Salva Kiir and therefore one cannot criticize own party which is the government. “For that reason we all have applauded the move by the President to remove him from the position he had held because he cannot challenge your own government while you are also part of Executive,” he said adding that “We will also wait for him in the upcoming national convention of the party; SPLM, and question him once convention is held or convened.” The governor also welcomed the removal of the SPLM Secretary-General Pagan Amum who also went to the media criticizing the government terming the practice as disobedient to his party instead of being loyal. (Back to Top/Headlines) S. Sudan’s Kiir makes new changes, appoints more women ministers Sudantribune.com Juba, 5/8/2013 – South Sudan president, Salva Kiir unexpectedly reversed an earlier order, appointing five ministers and an equal number of deputy ministers in the newly formed government. Kiir, in an executive order issued Sunday, also split ministries he previously combined with others, into separate institutions as it were before the 23 July dissolution of the entire government. The splitting of ministries and subsequent appointments, officials say, was in response complaints raised by women groups, who claimed they were under represented and blamed the government for failing to fulfill 25% affirmative action. The new cabinet, the state-radio reported, will now comprise of 33 members, including the president, his deputy and minister for the presidency, whose positions are still unoccupied till now. Abuk Ayite, a legislator in the national assembly commended the president for adhering to the 25% affirmative action allocated to women in the country. “We are happy and thank the president for responding to our pleas favourably. This was a wise decision and we knew he was going to do so. He is a caring leader and which is why we the women have been supporting him all along,” said Ayite, who now chairs the technical committee to vet the newly appointed cabinet members. “We continue to support him,” she stressed. Thomas Wani, who chairs the parliamentary group for members from the south-ruling party (SPLM), said the appointment of new more women in the cabinet was the result of the meeting they had with the president on Saturday. “The house welcomed this development. It is the result of the meeting we had with the president on Saturday. It shows the president keeps his words. He told asked he has heard our reservations and the recommendations we made and that he was going to act on them, which what he has now done. We congratulate him and the women," Wani told reporters in the capital, Juba on Monday. This is how wise leaders like our president address issues of concern, he added. (Back to Top/Headlines) S. Sudan assembly forms technical committee to vet new ministers Sudantribune.com Juba, 5/8/2013 – A technical committee, comprising eleven members, was on Monday formed by South Sudanese parliament to vet the newly appointed ministers. The team, which consists of lawmakers from all the country’s 10 states, was tasked to thoroughly conduct mandatory background checks of the minister, appointed last week. On 23 July, South Sudan president, Salva Kiir dissolved his entire government, including removing his long-serving vice-president, Riek Machar in a move that shocked many. Abuk Ayite, a conservative key member of the house was named head of the committee, which will also comprise of representative from the opposition, who is yet to be named. The team, according to the chairperson, will examine, among others, educational background, political experiences, past achievements, political vision for the country and whether the candidate he has been charged with crimes.

UNTAPPED AND UNPREPARED: DIRTY DEALS THREATEN SOUTH SUDAN’S MINING SECTOR TheSentry.org Executive Summary South Sudan’s mining sector has seen rapid development in recent years, and preliminary reports suggest that the industry could become an engine for major economic growth. However, ineffective accountability mechanisms, an opaque corporate landscape, and inadequate due diligence have exposed the sector to abuse by bad actors within South Sudan’s ruling clique. The Sentry has found that existing laws have proven insufficient bulwarks against abuse, raising concerns that the country’s mineral wealth could do little more than spur the kind of violent competition that has ravaged the oil sector. Although South Sudan took welcome steps to reform the mining sector in 2012, some government officials, their relatives, and their close associates have fostered a weak regulatory environment susceptible to exploitation. In one example of how the privileged few have apparently exploited kleptocratic arrangements, President Salva Kiir’s daughter partly owns a company with three active licenses, while another company with three licenses lists former Vice President James Wani Igga’s son as a shareholder. Ashraf Seed Ahmed Hussein Ali, a businessman commonly known as Al-Cardinal who was placed under Global Magnitsky sanctions in October 2019, reportedly owns the company currently holding the greatest number of licenses.1 In the gold-rich region of Kapoeta, state government officials have begun issuing licenses independently of the central government.

  • HATE SPEECH MONITORING and CONFLICT ANALYSIS in SOUTH SUDAN Report #6: October 10 – October 23, 2017
    October 25, 2017 HATE SPEECH MONITORING AND CONFLICT ANALYSIS IN SOUTH SUDAN Report #6: October 10 – October 23, 2017 This report is part of a broader initiative by PeaceTech Lab to analyze online hate speech in South Sudan in order to help mitigate the threat of hateful language in fueling violence on-the-ground. Hate speech can be defined as language that can incite others to discriminate or act against individuals or groups based on their ethnic, religious, racial, gender or national identity. The Lab also acknowledges the role of “dangerous speech,” which is a heightened form of hate speech that can catalyze mass violence. Summary of Recent Events uring this reporting period, military clashes continued throughout the Greater Equatoria and Upper Nile regions, both between rebel and government D forces, and among various rebel groups. On October 17, a contingent of National Salvation Front (NAS) fighters under General Thomas Cirillo overran SPLA-IO training bases around Kajo-Keji in Central Equatoria. The assaults occurred shortly after the SPLA-IO captured strategic barracks from government forces. The NAS itself claims that it was attacked by SPLA-IO forces, precipitating a counter-attack. It is unclear whether the NAS attack was coordinated with pro-government forces or conducted separately. The NAS rebel movement, composed mostly of Equatorians, is opposed to perceived Dinka dominance in government institutions, but is also not on good terms with the SPLA-IO. Meanwhile in Jonglei state, the divisions between Dinka Bor South and Dinka Twic East culminated in the passage of a bill in state parliament that seeks to split the state into two parts: Bor (to be based in Bor town) and Jonglei (to be headquartered in Panyagor).
