UN Accuses Machar’s South Sudan Rebel Group of Crimes against Humanity
[AAWSAT] The United Nations...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... has accused South Sudan armed opposition group, led by Riek Machar, of committing crimes against humanity in the Western Equatoria region. The accusations are the first-ever charges by the UN against Machar’s movement. According to the UN, in April 2018 before the peace agreement signed in August, Sudan People’s Liberation Army- in Opposition (SPLA-IO) forcefully took 900 people including children and women. Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, Gloria again dodged the questing tip of the giant frog's tongue and ran for her life... the International Committee of the Red Thingy (ICRC) said it has facilitated the release of 24 persons detained in relation to the conflict in South Sudan, including 16 detainees released earlier on Friday. This week marks the first releases of prisoners supervised by the ICRC following the signing of the latest peace agreement in which parties to the conflict agreed to free detainees. The ICRC statement, a copy of which was obtained by Asharq al-Awsat, confirmed the release of the war captives to be the first batch since the agreement signing on September 12. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... the organization refused to release the names of those released. UN charges facing the SPLA-IO included killings, rape, slavery, forced recruitment, destruction of more than 28 villages and the targeting of civilians. The UN said that other than kidnapping 900 people, the rebel movement forced more than 2,000 people to flee their homes between April and August. Posted by: Fred 2018-10-22 |
