PRESS RELEASE
In Support of the African Union Commission

The Rally for Peace and Democracy (RPD) commends the African Union Commission (AUC) for appointing the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into human rights abuses and violations in South Sudan. It is satisfying to watch four of the five members of the COI sworn-in on 12 March 2014 in the presence of the Chairperson of the AUC, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, other dignitaries and members of the press. Having listened attentively to the speech by the Chairperson of the CoI, Former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo and having studied its Terms of Reference, RPD is happily satisfied with this maiden initiative of the Commission. Notably is the assurance by President Obasanjo that his commission will give the process their best. It couldn’t come any better from a renowned pan-Africanist, philanthropist, veteran statesman and a democrat. RPD is equally contented with the appointment of the other four members of the CoI, who are some of our continent’s leading scholars, accomplished legal practitioners and political science researchers. RPD, therefore, accords its full support to the CoI and assures its full cooperation whenever needed.
