Highlights Violence in South Sudan kills 33 Associated Press (AP) Juba, 6/3/2013 – South Sudan's military spokesman says two clashes between soldiers and rebels resulted in the deaths of 33 people. Col. Philip Aguer said Wednesday that South Sudan troops killed 28 fighters led by the rebel leader David Yau Yau in the restive state of Jonglei. Ten soldiers were wounded in the Monday fights. Later Auger said the rebels ambushed the troops, killing five of them. Pibor County Commissioner Joshua Konyi said there have been several government efforts to reach a peace agreement with Yau Yau but they have not succeeded. Konyi said it appears Yau Yau understands "the language of the gun" better than peace. South Sudan broke away from Sudan in 2011 after decades of civil war. The country still has several internal regions where violence frequently flares. Civilians’ situation normal in Pibor Catholic Radio Network, 6/3/2013 – The situation of civilians in Pibor County of Jonglei State is normal as the army is conducting operations to uproot David Yau Yau’s forces since Friday. Pibor County Commissioner Joshua Konyi told CRN over the phone that the situation of civilians is good and they maintain a good relationship with the army. He said they told the civilians to be far from the military operations areas not to be caught in crossfire. Mr Konyi said that there were no civilians in the area where SPLA and rebels clashed. He explained that the rebels were concentrated in Akelo on the Pachala-Pibor Road and the army crossed the Komkom stream, but did not yet advance to Kalbak. Army spokesperson Colonel Philip Aguer Panyang confirmed that Yau Yau’s rebels have been clashing with SPLA soldiers for the last week. He said the rebels ambushed the SPLA twice on Monday and Tuesday on Komkom and Raprap, but that army repelled the attacks and is now controlling both areas. Col Aguer the army will try to clear Yau Yau’s forces out of Pibor County so that normal civil administration is resumed. Col Aguer called on the civilians in Pibor to distance themselves from the areas occupied by rebel forces. Prominent MP appears for first court hearing Voice of Hope Radio, 6/3/2013 – One of the outstanding members of state parliament accused of instigating Wau’s deadly December violence appeared in court in Wau on Wednesday morning for his first hearing. Hassan Ngor Agwer, from Wau North Constituency Number Nine, was arrested on December 29 in Wau by security operatives for allegedly delivering a speech in the state parliament that led to the burning of more than 165 houses and the killing of at least eight people, Voice of Hope reported. The accuser said the MP was quoted to use abusive language against six dead bodies killed in Ferjella calling then dogs in violation of South Sudan Criminal Act 2008. So far 34 suspects had their cases started. Among the suspects is John Peter Miskin, former Wau County Commissioner, 11 youths accused to have blocked Bussere-Wau road, four Prison officials, and 17 suspects on Ferjella killings. Most of the witnesses were security officials. SPLM monopolizes constitution review process 2 Catholic Radio Network, 6/3/2013 – The Catholic Auxiliary Bishop of Juba warned that South Sudan will end up with a one party Constitution due to the dominant position of the SPLM in the Constitutional Review Commission. Bishop Santo Loku told Catholic Radio Network directors in a meeting in Juba on Tuesday that the ruling party owns the constructional process because it holds the majority in the review commission. He said the Church and the people were concerned that the Charter would become a one party guided document. Bishop Loku warned that the Church must be careful because there seems to be underground politicking to monopolize the process of Constitutional review. He said people have expressed concern over representation in the commission. Bishop Loku warned that if the Constitution was not well negotiated and people’s views not taken into consideration, difficulties might erupt in the future. Constitution committee prepares for civic education campaign Gurtong.net Juba, 6/3/2013 – The Constitutional review committee on Tuesday held a workshop in preparation for civic education on the constitution that is set to be carried in the ten states of the country. The chairman of the National Constitution Review Committee (NCRC), Akolda M. Tier said that the task of civic education is a challenging one. “We are required by our terms of appointment to carry out the task of civic education and I believe that this is the most difficult assignment given to us,” he said. He also cited finances as one of the challenges of the commission. He added that this will hinder the process. Margret Mathew Deng who is the chairperson of the Civic Education Sub-Committee in the commission said that the workshop was to discuss the manual for the civic education. She added that education will be in more than two phases and that it will include a national media campaign, trainings and workshop. Margret said that they also intend to develop a website as one of their strategic plans. Meanwhile the representatives of the donor community, Ms. Marcia Dawes said that the international community supports the review process and that it is a great opportunity for South Sudan to start a process of where the country should go. “It also implies a great responsibility for this committee especially the commission to undertake such an important task,” she said. The commission was mandated to review the interim constitution of South Sudan. Established in January, Akolda late last year said that they started in July after receiving their budget of about 1.9 million South Sudanese pounds. He told reporters that the delay in their budget is the reason for their delay to start work and that their lost months be compensated. The parliament recently extended their mandate for two more years upon request of the commission. Jonglei state SPLM secretary suspended Gurtong.net Bor, 6/3/2013 – Jonglei state Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) chairperson, Kuol Manyang Juuk has suspended the state secretary Buoth Chuol Ngot following his absence from the work since December 2012. The SPLM chairperson Kuol Manyang Juuk who is also the state governor in his letter dated 22 February gave an ultimatum of 7 days for the secretary to report back to his duty. 3 “Having not honoured the ultimatum and lack of communication from your side, the office of SPLM chairperson has no option but take measures against your continued absence,” said the suspension letter. Kuol order the suspension of SPLM secretary with effect from March 5, 2013. The SPLM secretary, Bouth Chuol Ngot said that he was elected in 2008 during the SPLM congress and could not be suspended. He however said that in any government administrative order, there should be first warning, second warning then explanation letter followed by suspension. “I think my suspension was not procedural and if one could absorb the suspension itself critically I was given a first warning that I should report back to my work within seven days and before the completion of the seven days I was given the suspension in 1st March,” he said. “The final warning was on the 22 of February giving me seven days to report back to my work station while suspension was issued on 1st March meaning that I was suspended before the seven days got finished,” he added.

  • Spoils of War, Spoilers of Peace: Changing the Calculus of South Sudan's Deadly Conflict
    Spoils of War, Spoilers of Peace Changing the Calculus of South Sudan's Deadly Conflict ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… By Justine Fleischner September 2014 COVER PHOTO: South Sudan President Salva Kiir, front right, and former Vice President Riek Machar pay respects at the grave of Dr. John Garang in Juba, South Sudan. AP image, 2010 Spoils of War, Spoilers of Peace Changing the Calculus of South Sudan's Deadly Conflict By Justine Fleischner September 2014 Executive Summary and Recommendations South Sudan's civil war, which has exacted a terrible toll on its civilian population, has its origins in a power struggle between factions aligned with President Salva Kiir and those who have joined former Vice President Riek Machar. Despite repeated pledges to put down their weapons,1 both sides have demonstrated a clear commitment to a military “solution” instead of a negotiated settlement.2 The country’s competing privileged elites are sacrificing their own peoples’ lives to secure the political and economic benefits—including massive state-corroding corruption—derived from control of the state.3 In his opening remarks at the latest round of peace talks underway in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, chief negotiator Seyoum Mesfin told the parties, “If you are committed to peace, you will not find it through the barrel of the gun, but around this table.”4 Simply put, unless the calculations of the leaders of the warring parties are altered, the war will continue and likely intensify. The application of a globally enforced targeted sanctions regime could change the calculus of warring elites and end impunity for mass atrocities, the obstruction of humanitarian aid, and violations of the cessation of hostilities agreement.

  • Gatluak Gai's Rebellion, Unity State
    Gatluak Gai’s Rebellion, Unity State Gatluak Gai’s rebellion is linked to the complex and high-stakes politics of Unity state. The site of horrific violence and significant casualties during the civil war, Unity is home to political dynamics that mirror tensions at the highest levels of the Southern government. Given the ongoing armed banditry and insecurity in the state, these rifts, driven by wartime ties and longstanding tribal alliances, are unlikely to be resolved in the run-up to the South’s independence on 9 July 2011. Although Gatluak was not a major player in state politics prior to the April 2010 elections, the Government of South Sudan (GoSS) was convinced that he was linked to Angelina Teny—wife of Vice-President Riek Machar—who ran as an ‘independent’ candidate for the Unity governorship, and thus perceived him as a threat. Consequently, the GoSS deployed additional Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) troops to the state, particularly in Mayom and Pariang counties (seasonal destinations of the migrating Missiriya) and along the border with South Kordofan. The increased SPLA presence was motivated by suspicions about Angelina’s political aspirations, as well as the army’s intention to neutralize any potential security threats, such as the Missiriya. Oil-rich Unity, which shares a tense and militarized border with North Sudan, is of particular strategic importance to the GoSS. Gatluak and his forces did not launch any attacks in Unity between June and December 2010. Nevertheless, the areas of the state where he initially operated—in and around Koch county, south of Bentiu, and in the centre of the state—continued to be insecure, with frequent incidents of banditry and armed violence.

  • Mining in South Sudan: Opportunities and Risks for Local Communities
    » REPORT JANUARY 2016 MINING IN SOUTH SUDAN: OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES BASELINE ASSESSMENT OF SMALL-SCALE AND ARTISANAL GOLD MINING IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EQUATORIA STATES, SOUTH SUDAN MINING IN SOUTH SUDAN FOREWORD We are delighted to present you the findings of an assessment conducted between February and May 2015 in two states of South Sudan. With this report, based on dozens of interviews, focus group discussions and community meetings, a multi-disciplinary team of civil society and government representatives from South Sudan are for the first time shedding light on the country’s artisanal and small-scale mining sector. The picture that emerges is a remarkable one: artisanal gold mining in South Sudan ‘employs’ more than 60,000 people and might indirectly benefit almost half a million people. The vast majority of those involved in artisanal mining are poor rural families for whom alluvial gold mining provides critical income to supplement their subsistence livelihood of farming and cattle rearing. Ostensibly to boost income for the cash-strapped government, artisanal mining was formalized under the Mining Act and subsequent Mineral Regulations. However, owing to inadequate information-sharing and a lack of government mining sector staff at local level, artisanal miners and local communities are not aware of these rules. In reality there is almost no official monitoring of artisanal or even small-scale mining activities. Despite the significant positive impact on rural families’ income, the current form of artisanal mining does have negative impacts on health, the environment and social practices. With most artisanal, small-scale and exploration mining taking place in rural areas with abundant small arms and limited presence of government security forces, disputes over land access and ownership exacerbate existing conflicts.
