  • HATE SPEECH MONITORING and CONFLICT ANALYSIS in SOUTH SUDAN Report #5: September 24 – October 9, 2017
    October 12, 2017 HATE SPEECH MONITORING AND CONFLICT ANALYSIS IN SOUTH SUDAN Report #5: September 24 – October 9, 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 his reporting period is highlighted by developments on both diplomatic and military fronts. In terms of diplomatic efforts, IGAD’s release of the T revitalization forum timetable put forward an October 13-17 period for consultations with South Sudanese leaders and citizens on the peace process. Consistent with this timeline, IGAD foreign ministers have begun their consultations with opposition leaders. On October 5, Sudanese Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour and Ethiopian Foreign Minister Workneh Gebeyhu met with former first vice president Riek Machar in South Africa, and on October 9, Ghandour and IGAD Special Envoy Ismail Wais met with National Democratic Movement (NDM) leader Lam Akol in Khartoum. Meanwhile, new online narratives are forming around these discussions. The approach adopted by IGAD includes consulting with various stakeholders as individual groups, instead of an all-inclusive conference. While some factions welcome this approach, others, such as Taban’s SPLA-IO wing, oppose it.

  • Tracking the Flow of Government Transfers Financing Local Government Service Delivery in South Sudan
    Tracking the flow of Government transfers Financing local government service delivery in South Sudan 1.0 Introduction The Government of South Sudan through its Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MoFEP) makes transfers of funds to states and local governments on a monthly basis to finance service delivery. Broadly speaking, the government makes five types of transfers to the local government level: a) Conditional salary transfers: these funds are transferred to be used by the county departments of education, health and water to pay for the salaries of primary school teachers, health workers and water sector workers respectively. b) Operation transfers for county service departments: these funds are transferred to the counties for the departments of education, health and water to cater for the operation costs of these county departments. c) County block transfer: each county receives a discretionary amount which it can spend as it wishes on activities of the county. d) Operation transfer to service delivery units (SDUs): these funds are transferred to primary schools and primary health care facilities under the jurisdiction of each county to cater for operation costs of these units. e) County development grant (CDG): the national annual budget includes an item to be transferred to each county to enable the county conduct development activities such as construction of schools and office blocks; in practice however this money has not been released to the counties since 2011 mainly due to a lack of funds. 2.0 Transfer and spending modalities/guidelines Funds are transferred by the national Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning from the government accounts at Bank of South Sudan to the respective state’s bank accounts through the state ministries of Finance (SMoF).

  • South Sudan Human Rights Monitor
    SOUTH SUDAN HUMAN RIGHTS MONITOR February 1, 2018 to May 31, 2018 This report is based on the work of internationally trained local monitors on the ground in South Sudan working for a national human rights organization. Both these monitors and the organization must remain anonymous given present security concerns. The information reported herein meets the threshold for initiating an investigation. There is a reasonable basis to believe that the following incidents occurred. I. INTRODUCTION South Sudan has experienced widespread human rights abuses and a plethora of crimes, including a significant amount of sexual and gender-based and ethnic violence, since the outbreak of the conflict in December 2013. Since the start of the conflict, violence has escalated at an alarming rate across the country, resulting in widespread killings, rapes, extensive property damage and looting of civilian property. This report details 19 incidents of human rights abuses and crimes committed against civilians that have been documented by local monitors working anonymously in multiple locations around the country. The gross human rights violations and crimes included in this report illustrate the severity of the conflict and its overall impact on the lives of civilians, including damaging their ability to sustain their livelihoods, and the destruction of the social fabric of their communities that will affect generations of South Sudanese. While this report does not cover the totality of human rights abuses and crimes that have occurred in South Sudan during the reporting period, it does provide a reasonable basis to believe that these human rights abuses and crimes have occurred as reported and a clear basis for analysis and human rights advocacy.
