Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A United Nations report has said that it has documented human rights violations including the killing of at least 173 people civilians by warring parties in the South Sudan\u2019s oil-rich Unity State between February and May 2022.<\/p>\n

The report released by UNMISS and the OHCHR today says \u201cthese violations were committed during clashes between joint Government Forces and affiliated armed militias\/groups on one hand, and elements of Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement\/Army in Opposition (SPLM\/A-IO (RM)) \u2013 loyal to First Vice-President Riek Machar \u2013 on the other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report, which covers the period between 11 February and 31 May 2022, is based on 32 verification missions conducted by UNMISS in three counties \u2013 Koch, Leer, and Mayendit \u2013 and neighboring areas.<\/p>\n

The hostilities in southern Unity State affected at least 28 villages and settlements \u2014 with approximately 173 civilians killed, 12 injured, and 37 women and children abducted. Many of the abductees were subjected to sexual violence, including girls as young as eight-years-old and a nine-year-old girl who was gang-raped to death.<\/p>\n

A total of 131 cases of rape and gang rape were documented. Approximately 44,000 civilians were displaced from at least 26 villages.<\/p>\n

UNMISS identified joint Government forces and allied militias\/groups reportedly operating under the command of officials of Koch and Mayendit counties as the main perpetrators of the human rights violations and abuses. The SPLM\/A-IO (RM) also perpetrated attacks in Mirmir Payam, Koch County.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuman rights violations were committed with impunity. The Government is duty-bound under international law to protect civilians, investigate allegations of human rights violations, and hold suspected perpetrators accountable in compliance with fair trial standards,\u201d said the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) and Head of UNMISS, Nicholas Haysom.<\/p>\n
