July 31, 2016 (JUBA) – The United States has warned those taking actions threatening the peace, security, or stability of South Sudan, and those responsible for attacks on civilians or United Nations premises, saying they may be subjected to sanctions under the UN Security Council Resolution (UNSC) 2206 (2015).

The U.S., in a statement, condemned in the “strongest” terms the continued fighting in Equatoria region and other areas of South Sudan in recent days.

“We call for an immediate halt to combat operations and full compliance with the ceasefire declared on July 11 and in the peace agreement,” said Mark Toner, the deputy spokesperson of the Department of State said in a 30 July statement.

The Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD) and the African Union issued similar concerns over the fighting, which has continued, despite a declared ceasefire.

According to the U.S, the “short-sighted” actions of South Sudan's leaders in recent weeks have exacerbated an already intolerable humanitarian crisis as large portions of the country are facing emergency levels of food insecurity.

“The people of South Sudan should have the opportunity to build their country and pursue their aspirations in peace,” said Toner, further adding, “Instead they are facing the further untold suffering of continued conflict”.

A recent report from the UN gave horrific accounts of civilian killings and a rise in the number of government soldiers in uniform raping and gang raping women and girls who have taken refuge in UN protection of civilian sites. The world body documented at least 120 cases of sexual violence in South Sudan in the last two weeks.

“Those responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other violations of international humanitarian law - including those who order or incite violence, or encourage or contribute to the commission of crimes - will be held accountable,” stressed the US official.

The US reminded all parties that the peace agreement provides that the Hybrid Court for South Sudan will have jurisdiction over violations of international law committed during the transitional period, including those committed during the ongoing violence.

Last month, skirmishes between force loyal to President Salva Kiir and those allied to ex-rebel leader Riek Machar in the capital, Juba left over 270 soldiers dead. The recent outbreak of violence, the UN says, has displaced more than 40,000 civilians.

July 31, 2016 (KHARTOUM) - Sudanese Communist Party (SCP) on Sunday has kicked off its sixth convention renewing its rejection for the ongoing government-led national dialogue and the political settlement.

The sixth convention is being held amid sharp divisions within the SCP following the recent decision of the party's Central Committee to suspend and dismiss 27 leading figures.

In his address during the opening session, SCP Political Secretary Mohamed Mukhtar al-Khatib appeared to have deliberately avoided mentioning the internal differences and the reasons for the dismissal of prominent figures.

He stressed that the SCP sticks to the popular uprising as means to overthrow the regime, saying they would “continue to engage in the common struggle to restore democracy, stop the war, achieve just peace and balanced development, pay reparations and return IDPs and refugees to their original villages”.

Al-Khatib underlined that his party seeks to establish the rules of good governance and apply the principle of non-impunity, saying they would hold accountable all those who committed war crimes and crimes against humanity and bring the corrupt before justice.

He added that the SCP also seeks to hold a national constitutional conference during the four-year interim period which would follow the removal of the regime, underscoring his party's rejection for the military coups as means to gain power.

The SCP political secretary further stressed that his party struggles to consolidate the peaceful transfer of power, accusing some political parties, which he didn't name, of seeking hinder the popular uprising.

He pointed to several schemes for resolving the Sudanese crisis including the government-led national dialogue and the “soft landing” plan advocated by the international community.

“We absolutely reject the imperialistic settlement through soft landing because it threatens Sudan's unity,” he said

Al-Khatib said the international community and the African Union seek to push the opposition to sign the Roadmap Agreement and join the national dialogue without giving any guarantees to meet and implement the dialogue's requirements.

Last March, the Sudanese government signed a Roadmap Agreement for peace and dialogue proposed by the African Union High Level Implementation Panel (AUHIP).

Some political parties and armed groups from the opposition umbrella “Sudan Call” and the opposition alliance of the National Consensus Forces (NCF) said they will likely sign the peace roadmap after a meeting that would be held with the chief African mediator Thabo Mbeki in Addis Ababa on August 7th.

However, some NCF parties including the SCP, Arab Ba'ath Party (ABP), the Unified Democratic Unionist Party and the Nasserite Socialist Party refuse to endorse the peace plan, saying it wouldn't make a real change in the structure of the regime.

Al-Khatib further called on SCP leaders and cadres to work among the Sudanese people to reach the desired change and establish the national democratic state, vowing to achieve the social justice and enable the effective participation of citizens in the decision-making.

It is noteworthy that representatives from the French Communist Party, Iraqi Communist Party and South Sudanese Communist Party have attended the opening session.

Also, representatives from the Sudanese opposition parties including the National Umma Party (NUP), Sudanese Congress Party (SCoP) and the Nasserite Socialist Party (NSP) have attended the opening session while the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) didn't participate in the session.

The sixth convention is expected to elect a Politburo and Central Committee besides naming a new political secretary.

The SCP was established in 1946 under the name of the “Anti Colonialism Front” and it was later known as the “Sudanese Movement for National Liberation” before its final name was adopted in 1956.
