3 min readBy David Aoloch Bion
Does AU Commission of Inquiry into South Sudan crisis know that, there have been seven massacres in South Sudan since 1984? Well, if you don’t know , here are they .
1984 , when fighting broke out between the SPLM/A and Anya Anya Two , many civilian were massacred . This was first killing of civilians in South Sudan political conflict. This is known Jongkou Massacre.
In 1985, when fighting broke out between SPLM/A Koryom Battalion and Aringa forces of the current Governor of Central Equatoria Clement Wani Konga , many civilians were massacred . This was the second killing of civilians in South Sudan political conflict. This is known Terekaka Massacre.
In 1987, when fighting broke out between SPLM/A and Forces of Ismael Kony , many civilians were massacred . This was third killing of civilians in South Sudan political conflict. This is known Pibor Massacre.
In 1991, when fighting broke out between SPLA Torit and SPLA Nasir , many civilians were massacred . This was fourth killings of civilians in South Sudan political conflict. This is known as Bor Massacre .
1993, when fighting broke out between SPLM/A mainstream and SPLM/A of William Nyuon Bany and Glario Modi , many civilians were massacred in Magwi , Ipoto areas in Equatoria . This was the fifth killings of civilians in South Sudan political conflict. This is known Imatong Massacre .
In 2002 , when fighting broke out between SPLM/A mainstream and SPLM/A of Cdr Peter Lorot in Chukudum , many civilians were massacred , including one and only educated man of the smallest tribe in South Sudan , Pari tribe , Peter Kedi , who was shot dead in his house . This was the sixth killing of civilians in South Sudan political conflict . This is known as Chukudum .Massacre .
In 2013, when fighting broke out between the SPLM/A of Salva Kiir and SPLM/A of Riek Machar in Juba , many civilians were massacred . This was seven killing of civilians in South Sudan political conflict. This is known Juba Massacre.
Therefore , AU Commsision of Inquiry must investigates all these seven massacres and come up with comprehensive reports and recommendation instead it investigate one massacre .
South Sudanese will not accept the selective reports and recommendations of one massacre , the Juba Massacre.
AU should start it works of justices and accountability from 1984 massacre to 1985 massacre , from 1987 massacre to 1991 massacre, from 1993 massacre to 2002 massacre and to 2013 Massacre . Justices must be in chronological order.
If you start with Juba Massacre, it is inconsistent and politically motivated, biased and a work of undisclosed foreign powers, that deem to punish some people in South Sudan.
From disinterested point of view, there is one solution to massacres in South Sudan, forgiveness, peace and reconciliation, and the writing of law , that any one that will commit a massacre after the law will be hanged .
If you AU are for justice, justice must begin with 1984 massacre to 2013 Massacres. AU should not skip over other massacres and start with Juba massacre of 2013. This is inconsistent with justices. Justices must be universal not selective.
Those whose names will appear in that report and recommendation MUST defy and disobey that work of undisclosed foreign powers.
South Sudanese must reject selective justices of AU and their undisclosed foreign powers.. Justices must be universal not selective as that .
Solution to South Sudan massacre must come within South Sudan through reconciliation and forgiveness not from foreign witchhunts and trials . Solution to South Sudan problems must not come from foreigners. One People, One Nation. One problem , one solution .
