Sudanese Ambassador Ali Osman announced (19 August) that the government of Sudan has agreed to allow six UN agencies to dispatch a joint mission to the disputed Southern Kordofan region “to assist the situation of human rights there and the humanitarian needs in the region.” Osman told reporters outside the Security Council that the mission, comprised of WHO, UNHCR, OCHA, UNICEF, UNFPA, will be dispatched tomorrow. Wide Range of Alleged Violations: In recent days the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay had asked for unhindered access to human rights monitors into the area. A preliminary report, produced jointly by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the former UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), describes a wide range of alleged violations of international law in the town of Kadugli, as well as in the surrounding Nuba mountains, after fighting broke out in Kadugli on 5 June between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army North (SPLA-N). Reported violations included extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests and illegal detention, enforced disappearances, attacks against civilians, looting of civilian homes and destruction of property, as well as massive displacement, according to a news release issued by OHCHR. Sudan Blames South: The Sudanese Ambassador (PHOTO ABOVE) alleged that the “root cause of the whole problem” had been that the SPLA-N did not abide by the provisions of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which, he said, stipulates that the SPLA-N “should disarm its elements to prepare the ground for the reintegration, either in the national army or in the civil service.” He added that “they didn’t do that for the whole interim period which continued for five years.” The CPA, signed in January 2005 by the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and the Government of Sudan, was designed to end the conflict between North and South Sudan and set a timetable for a referendum on South Sudan independence. South Sudan became independent state on 9 July 2011, but issues remain regarding the status of Abiyei and Southern Kordofan.
