Knowing that there are wounded who have been transported for treatment, and martyrs who have not been counted yet.

Four houses were completely destroyed, many mills were completely destroyed, and even animals were not spared from death.

These attacks have terrified women and children and spread fear in the hearts of innocent citizens, and due to the repeated shelling, work in the market has stopped completely due to fear of losing more lives.

The atrocities and violations committed by the army aviation against defenceless civilians in Mellit amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

In the face of this massacre, we declare our full condemnation of this heinous crime, and we pray for the souls of these innocent victims and offer our deepest condolences and sincere sympathy to their families and loved ones.

 

We declare our old and renewed position that we have been against this war since the moment it first started until now, and we will not tire of demanding that it be stopped through the negotiating table.

We also call on local, regional and international organizations to extend a helping hand to these victims.

South Sudan: The UPDF “annexes” 200 villages in Kajo-Keji County in Central Equatoria State

Kajokeji County commissioner reveals the areas which Uganda encroaches (grabs) from South Sudan. Kajo-Keji is a county in central Equatoria state of south Sudan that borders the neighboring Uganda in the districts of Moyo, and Yumbe. These districts of Uganda had been engaged in encroachment (grabbing) of land of Kajo-Keji and causing insecurity within the bordering communities” (Twic Media Reports, 01.09.2024).

This should cause a stir. The idea that a foreign invader and a foreign army is invading a sovereign. The rulers of Juba is sleeping on duty. They are busy on international conferences and peace-talks between old warlords to see the bigger picture. These haven’t institutionalized the state and the prolonged interim or transitional period has hurt the building of a functioning state.

Because of all of that… the South Sudanese government haven’t proper border forces or cantonment of soldiers to keep their territories intact. The SSDF is lacking manpower and weaponry to safeguard the border regions. That’s why the Uganda People’s Defence Forces could just enter and encroaches around 200 villages.

200 South Sudanese Villages in the hands of the Ugandan invaders. This is a deliberate act and aswift move. There been reports of Ugandan soldiers entering and using lethal violence in South Sudan during August. It has been weeks of this information, but now the scale is evident.

The High Command of the UPDF has sanctioned this and they must know about this Operation. They have surely code-named it and given a mandate to a army commander on its behalf. You just don’t want across a border and annexes land without any prior plan or having a mission. This is an act done with either prior knowledge or an offer of the rulers of Juba.

J-1 and the President Salva Kiir should be aware of this. It can be a payback for services in past where the UPDF saved his skin. Nevertheless, these secret agreements haven’t been public or transparent about. Neither is there any forewarning or notice that the UPDF would do this. Meaning this is a hidden secret and now it is in plain sight.

The Foreign Affairs of both nations needs to address it. The general public deserves to know why the UPDF has taken over 200 villages. Why is a sovereign accepting this and isn’t sending the Ugandan forces home? They shouldn’t be here and isn’t defending their homeland within South Sudan. This is pillage and possibly looting another nation for monetary gains. Another game of soldiers of fortune and the victims are the South Sudanese living in Central Equatoria State.

There is a need for clarification from all parties and what is going down. Because, this is a headache of issues. The public needs to know and foreign armies shouldn’t be involved inside a sovereign. That’s where things doesn’t add up.

The UPDF should have the rights or the ability to takeover 200 villages within the Republic of South Sudan. That’s just wrong on all accounts. The R-TGoNU and the J-1 needs to speak out on the matter and be transparent. There is a need for proper information and necessary disclosure, because this is just flabbergasting. Peace.
