International Condemnations of Sudanese Army Violations
Demands for Justice and Cessation of Escalation: International Condemnations of Sudanese Army ViolationsBy: Editorial Team
International and local condemnations continue to mount against the violations committed by the Sudanese army against South Sudanese citizens in Wad Madani, Al-Jazira State.
In the latest reactions, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, strongly condemned the brutal killings, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive and transparent investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Moussa Faki, in an official statement, called on Sudanese authorities to respond swiftly to the appeal made by South Sudan's President, Salva Kiir, who on January 17, 2025, called for an immediate investigation into the heinous crime. The Chairperson stressed that these unacceptable violations threaten the stability of the region, urging all parties to exercise restraint and avoid further escalation of violence.
For his part, South Sudan's President, Salva Kiir, described these crimes as "terrorist and inhumane acts," stressing the necessity of holding the perpetrators accountable. In a speech to the nation, Kiir stated: "These brutal acts bring back painful and emotional memories. They are unacceptable and no different from terrorism in nature."
In light of these events, Kiir called on South Sudanese citizens to remain calm and avoid targeting Sudanese nationals residing in the country, reaffirming that the South Sudanese government would continue to provide safety and shelter to Sudanese refugees fleeing the war. He said: "Let us believe in the peace process and dialogue to resolve this crisis instead of resorting to violence or revenge."
Protests and Public Tension
The crimes committed by militias affiliated with the Sudanese army have sparked widespread outrage in South Sudan, with angry demonstrations erupting in the capital Juba and several other cities. The protests targeted shops and businesses owned by Sudanese nationals in South Sudan, leading to both human and material losses.
In an attempt to control the situation, Kiir issued direct orders to security leaders to ensure the protection of Sudanese nationals within South Sudan, emphasizing the need for all regular forces to return to their units to enforce security and prevent any further escalation.
Diplomatic Response
On the diplomatic front, the South Sudanese government summoned the Sudanese ambassador to express its official protest over the violations committed by the Sudanese army against its citizens in Al-Jazira. They demanded guarantees for the safety of South Sudanese citizens in Sudan, along with the involvement of international human rights organizations in the investigations to ensure transparency and accountability.
Last week, Sudanese army forces and their militias committed widespread violations, including various forms of killings, against South Sudanese nationals residing in Al-Jazira State. The murder of South Sudanese citizens by the Sudanese army sparked widespread anger in Juba, leading to retaliatory actions against Sudanese nationals, resulting in the deaths of several and the destruction of their properties.
