The commission, in a yearlong investigation in six of South Sudan’s states, found evidence of widespread attacks against civilians
Government and military officials have never faced any accountability for their roles in the atrocities, the commission said in a 114-page report released on Monday.
Among those named were the governor of Unity state, Joseph Monytuil, and a senior military commander, Lieutenant-General Thoi Chany Reat. Both should face criminal investigations for their role in state-sanctioned extrajudicial killings of civilians in August, 2022, the report said.“These officials have faced no effective investigation, let alone sanction, despite the crimes being captured on camera and further incriminating evidence being posted on an official Facebook page,” the report said.
By 2018, nearly 400,000 people had died as a result of the war, making it one of the world’s deadliest conflicts, according to a study by British-based researchers. Despite several peace agreements, the violence has continued since then, contributing to a humanitarian disaster in the country. The commission also documented the climate of fear in South Sudan, caused by the frequent arrests or abductions of activists,, protest organizers and other independent voices, usually perpetrated by security agents who use threats and torture to silence dissidents.
