June 4, 2016 (JUBA) – The United Nations Refuge Agency (UNHCR) said it deeply saddened by the tragic death of a refugee and two local South Sudanese who sustained fatal injuries during an incident in Upper Nile's Doro refugee camp on Monday.

Although the agency said its staff were gathering details on the circumstances of the deaths, initial reports reportedly suggest that members of the host communities and refugees clashed on Monday during a football match organised as part of UNHCR's efforts to promote peaceful coexistence among communities.

South Sudan, according to UNHCR, currently hosts more than 266,000 refugees, mostly from South Kordofan and Blue Nile States in Sudan and that over 134,000 refugees live in four camps in Upper Nile state's Maban county.

Tensions, UNHCR said, have been growing between the two communities for weeks over the alleged theft of pigs and goats. Refugees and locals, it said, have traded accusations over livestock looting but that further investigation was required to confirm the facts.

according to UNHCR, the incident led to further inter-community violence and deterioration of the security situation in Maban, resulting into several injuries while a number of houses were also burnt to the ground on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“This is an act of senseless violence and our thoughts and prayers are with those families who have lost their loved ones,” said UNHCR Representative Ahmed Warsame.

Meanwhile, UNHCR promised in coordination with South Sudan's Commission for Refugee Affairs continue to engage the local authorities and representatives of both the refugee and host community to help calm down the volatile situation.

Following the incident in Upper Nile state, UN peacekeepers immediately deployed to the scene to support the local authorities in re-establishing order and have established a buffer zone between the Sudanese and South Sudanese populations.

“We are very concerned with reports of the heightened presence of armed groups in Maban camps as well as weapons circulation,” says Warsame.

“Whilst deeply appreciating the hospitality and generosity of South Sudan and its people towards refugees, we strongly appeal to the authorities to provide safety and security to those in need and to ensure the civilian and humanitarian character of refugee camps. UNHCR will continue to work with communities and partners to enhance social cohesion and to promote redress and reconciliation in Maban," he added.

The Chairman of the Sudan Liberation Movement for Justice (SLMJ) Taher Hajer Saturday disclosed to Sudan Tribune that his group and the Sudan Liberation Movement (Second Revolution) SLM-SR chaired by Abul Gasim Imam, held indirect consultations with a Sudanese government delegation led by the head of Darfur Peace Office Amin Hassan Omer.

Hajer said the three-day consultations, facilitated by the Chadian President Idriss Deby, were a continuation to previous encounters after their participation in the National Dialogue Conference to present the position of the two movements on the national issues.

He stressed that they accepted to participate in the dialogue conference last October with the prerequisite that "the dialogue is not a substitute to negotiations on issues related to the war affected areas in Darfur region, and Blue Nile and South Kordofan states".

According to the rebel leader the purpose of the consultation was to to consider the next step after the participation in the National Dialogue Conference on 10 October 2015.

Hajer and Imam had arrived to Khartoum on the plane of the Chadian president who participated in the inaugural session of the conference.

The SLMJ leader said they filed their vision for a negotiated solution to the Chadian government .

"We have emphasized to the Chadian brothers that we are with peace and with a negotiated solution. Peace is a strategic option for us if the other party is serious in dialogue and negotiation."

"The Chadian officials delivered our position-paper to Sudanese government delegation and advised them as DDPD facilitators to go to Qatar to discuss the matters related to Darfur and the security arrangements," he said.

Regarding the two groups, Hajer said they are willing to go to Doha and negotiate a peace agreement brokered by the Joint Chief Mediator Martin Uhomoibhi, and the Qatari Ahmed bin Abdullah Al-Mahmoud.

"But we underlined that the DDPD is the basis and cannot be opened. So we met with the President Deby and we discussed these matters with him. He pledged as President of Chad and Chairperson of the African Union to overcome these obstacles and find a solution for it".

He further reiterated that if the parties reach a compromise on the possibility to negotiate some issues already tackled in the framework agreement, they are ready to hold peace talks with the government in Doha, pointing that Chad will be a facilitator like other signed agreement.

The Justice and Equality Movement - Dabajo reached a peace agreement with the Sudanese government on 6 April 2013 facilitated by the Chadian President Deby.

The group signed the DDPD and negotiated a peace agreement reviewing the implementation of some provisions they wanted to renegotiate. The parties decided to annex the deal to the DDPD.

The information spread on Thursday morning in Yambio town that Rotto Zeni and his wife have been shot dead by unknown gunmen in one of their houses in Baakiwiri where they were cultivating their farm.

Rotto in one of ethnic Azande key literature writers and long serving teacher in Western Equatoria.

One of his sons, Justin Rotto, said his late parents were attacked at midnight by armed people who came to their house while they were sleeping and opened fire, killing both of them on their bed as they were sleeping.
The attackers, he said, who escaped after killing the couple, did not loot any single item in the house.

Justin added that his father was not a politician nor involved himself in criminal activities which could result to his death, and until now, it is unclear as to why his late father was killed without any information of threat from anybody.

Speaking to Sudan Tribune, the commissioner of Yambio county, Grace Apollo, condemned the “barbaric act” of killing the late who he described as a “resourceful person” among the community and in the state in general.

He lamented that many important people have lost their lives during the conflict which erupted last year in Western Equatoria and it was unfortunate that no one has been apprehended as the perpetrators remain unknown gunmen.

Grace stated that the government will launch investigation into the killing of innocent leaders in Yambio county and to bring the criminals to justice. Many people have been killed in cold-blood and others are killed and burnt in their houses and no one has been arrested so far.

Unfortunately, on the same night, an old woman of over 60 years of age was raped to death by a group of people in Yambio town and her body was found in the morning.

Late last year, an old woman of 71 years old was raped by a group of gangs and she died in Yambio Civil Hospital days later.

June 4, 2016 (KHARTOUM) - The rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement/North (SPLM-N) Saturday has acknowledged that the Sudanese army took over “external points” around the strategic area of Jebel Kilgu in the Blue Nile state.

Since April 2015, the Sudanese army has carried out some 21 attacks to capture the strategic from the SPLM-N.

On Thursday, the Blue Nile Governor Hussein Yassin Abu Sorwal told Ashrooq TV that the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) managed to retake control of the rugged area, located at 30 km south of the state capital Ed-Damazin, adding that the armed forces have arrested around one hundred rebels.

However, the SPLM-N denied Abu Sorwal's statements and asserted that the fighting is still taking place in the area.

In a statement extended to Sudan Tribune Saturday, SPLM-N leadership said the government army seized control of “external points” around the Jebel Kilgu and burned down a vehicle before its fighters withdrew from the area.

The SPLM-N has vehemently denied Yassen's claims that SAF arrested one hundred of its fighters, accusing the retreating “Janjaweed Militia” of attacking and arresting civilians in two villages located at 5 km south of Ed-Damazin.

The statement was alluding to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militiamen whom the government dispatched last week to reinforce the regular forces.

The SRF militiamen are accused of taking part in the counterinsurgency campaign led by the Sudanese army against Darfur rebel groups. UN agencies estimate that some 300 thousands civilians were killed.

The statement added that “Abu Sorwal is aware of the attacks against the two villages”, pointing that the locals who were arrested by the “Janjaweed force have nothing to do with the SPLM-N”.

The SPLM-N has held Abu Sorwal responsible for the safety of those locals and warned him against compromising their lives.

It is noteworthy that SAF didn't issue a statement about the outcome of the fighting in Kilgu.

The Sudanese government has been fighting the SPLM-N in South Kordofan and Blue Nile areas since 2011.
