Statement on the 5th Year Anniversary of the Murder of Dr. Ding Col Dau Ding in South Sudan

*Update on the Murder of Dr. Ding Col Dau Ding*

Tuesday 27 October, 2020
(Washington DC; London)

After concluding our investigation into the egregious murder of the renowned and...
...trusted, British-born, healthcare professional and academic, Dr. Ding Col Dau Ding Aweer (1); we, Justice For All South Sudanese (@robertamsterdam @amsterdamllp), now formally disclose that the death of Dr. Ding (@dr_justice4) was a politically-motivated extrajudicial killing.
On behalf of the Family, the Friends and the Colleagues of Dr. Ding, we now demand full and immediate accountability from the new transitional government of #SouthSudan (@SouthSudanGov).

We additionally demand that the African Union’s (@AU_PSD) Hybrid Court for South Sudan...
....is immediately established without any further delay. An independent court that can begin to bring some justice to the millions of other victims of South Sudan’s violent and murderous government.
“The murder of my brother and the conspiracy to cover it up, is yet another example of the endemic impunity and selective justice that has become commonplace in South Sudan.”
“If someone like Ding can be killed without consequences, then no one is safe in that country”, says Dr. Dau Col Dau Ding. (@DauCol).
As we pass the fifth year anniversary of the killing of this brilliant, British educated (@BristolUni) medical doctor and Oxford University educated (@SPC_Oxford @UniofOxford) post-doctoral neuroscientist on the night of Tuesday 27 October 2015, we can begin to provide some...
...details behind this politically-motivated conspiracy to murder.

This conspiracy was initially exemplified by a targeted theft of the hard-drive of a personal computer located within a senior medical doctor’s consultation room.
This burglary occurred following an unlawful and unforced entry into the private medical facility (@ARDCmedical) that Dr. Ding had been practicing in since his return back to South Sudan.
Similar to the investigation into Dr. Ding’s death, the investigation into this earlier burglary was woefully inadequate. It was not thoroughly undertaken by the responsible law enforcement authorities. To date, neither the criminal investigation into Dr. Ding’s murder nor...
...the investigation into the earlier burglary of Dr. Ding’s medical facility, have ever been concluded by the South Sudanese criminal justice system.

As has also occurred with other civilians that have been targeted and killed within South Sudan, suspects who are associated...
...with - and were authorised and protected by - individuals within the government of South Sudan and within South Sudan’s security apparatuses, have now been identified as the conspirators in this premeditated homicide.
The extrajudicial killing of Dr. Ding was sanctioned by senior officials within the government of South Sudan; and it was expedited by senior officials operating within South Sudan’s National Security Service and its National Police Service.
As the facilitator of the inaugural conference which founded the South Sudan Opposition Movements Alliance (2) (@SudanAlliance) organisation in The Hague, The Netherlands, in August 2019, we, Justice For All South Sudanese, now demand full implementation by the new...
...transitional government of South Sudan; by the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (@igadsecretariat) (@DrWorkneh) and; by the African Union Commission (@AUC_MoussaFaki), of all of the transitional justice and accountability provisions of Chapter V of the...
...Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (3). We particularly demand that the African Union’s Hybrid for South Sudan is immediately established without any further delay. An international tribunal which has been purposefully and intentionally...
...obstructed in its formation since 2015 by senior officials within the government of South Sudan.

There will never be a durable and sustainable peace without restorative justice and an end to impunity for all of the crimes against humanity that have been perpetrated against...
...the millions of innocent and law-abiding people of this young and new country. (4)

@NesrineMalik @robertamsterdam @StateDept @SecPompeo

The only leverage that the world still has over the remnants of the Bashir-NCP, Islamists', deep-state, are those same US sanctions that some people are still vociferously complaining about. They are what largely facilitated in the final toppling of Bashir.
@NesrineMalik @robertamsterdam @StateDept @SecPompeo The US' sanctions are the only leverage that the #Sudan-ese civilians still have over the military junta to force them to guarantee & enact genuine reforms. The military junta has not enacted any reforms at all since the #Sudan transitional government was formed.
@NesrineMalik @robertamsterdam @StateDept @SecPompeo The military junta's "guaranteed committment" to reforms does not need the US' sanctions to be lifted as a prerequisite. E.g., where is the justice for the protestors that were killed during the revolution? Why has that still not been made a "red-line demand" by the "civilians"?

@liberty_sudan @_hudsonc The whole of #Sudan (both the South & the North) lost “leadership”, “direction” & “vision” with the killing of Dr. John Garang De Mabior on the 30th July 2005.

John Garang was a unionist. He sought devolved self-governance away from the ruling-Arab elites in Khartoum for the...
@liberty_sudan @_hudsonc ...South & all of the other disenfranchised & socioeconomically oppressed regions of the #Sudan. He was not naive nor was he deluded enough to ever think that the current #SouthSudan independence was ever going to be pragmatically realistic in just 6 years of a CPA interim...
@liberty_sudan @_hudsonc ...period, without there first being “fundamental socioeconomic structures” in place to be able to run the South’s - or any of the other regions for that matter - own affairs. Just look at the state of #SouthSudan now for all of the evidence of that that you need; and now look...

It is understandable why Machar’s SPLM/A-IO will be uncomfortable with the unilateral creation of the Ruweng Administrative Area; if it remains in place.
The former Southern Liech State - which was one of the now defunct, 32 illegally created States by Kiir’s regime -...
...included the ancestral home of Riek Machar. The largely Nuer-populated former Southern Liech State, bordered the former largely Dinka-populated Ruweng State - now the Ruweng Administrative Area.

Now with the restoration of Unity State as one of the 10 states, minus Ruweng...
