FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

*SSOMA Continues to Delay on Transitional Justice*

Monday 30 November, 2020
(Washington DC; London)

“Justice For All South Sudanese” (JFASS) would like to now formally disclose to the South Sudanese people at large, that it was...

...the non-governmental, human-rights organisation whose members materially facilitated and participated in the inaugural conference of the South Sudan Opposition Movements Alliance (SSOMA) in The Hague, The Netherlands, in August 2019.
( @Eurpeace @EU_Commission )

We agreed to engage in the facilitation of the SSOMA conference solely on the proviso that it would lead to a robust and transparently unified opposition alliance under one umbrella. A unified alliance for the purposes of structured and effective negotiations with the...

...government of South Sudan.
( @igadsecretariat @DrWorkneh )

Consequently, the recent - and intentionally conspired towards - division of the SSOMA into two separate factions, has disappointed us and our partners. We are aware of the member within the SSOMA that is behind...

...the division; and we are aware of their motive for doing so.

With the formation of the South Sudanese Presidency and the Council of Ministers of the Revitalised Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) ( @SouthSudanGov ) in February 2020 - and following the...

...reaffirming “Rome Resolution On Monitoring and Verification of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement 2017” facilitated by the Community of Sant’Egidio in Italy in the same month, along with a recent “Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring and...

...Verification Mechanism workshop” held in Rome in November 2020 with only one faction of the SSOMA in attendance - we now demand that the SSOMA resolve its internal wrangles with immediate effect.
( @santegidionews @CTSAMM_SSudan @RJMECsouthsudan )

We will not allow the...

...people of South Sudan to be betrayed once again by intractable personal and ethnocentric political interests within an alliance that we co-founded.

On behalf of the millions of conflict-affected South Sudanese people who are living as displaced persons and refugees, we...

...abhor the current attempts being made by one member of the SSOMA to renege on, and circumvent, one of the key Declaration of Principles (1) that was agreed upon in The Hague. Any effort to further perpetuate impunity for all of the war crimes and crimes against humanity...

...that have been committed in South Sudan, shall be met with the commensurate exposure, accordingly. We cannot permit actions that continue to undermine international human rights law.
( @amnesty @_AfricanUnion @AU_PSD )

We have always aimed to ensure that the definitive...

...search for genuine and sustainable peace in South Sudan continues unabated; and that can only be underpinned by a strong and unequivocal call for the full establishment of genuine and transparent restorative justice mechanisms for all of the millions of innocent and...

...vulnerable South Sudanese children, women and men that have been egregiously affected by the country’s man-made conflict.

Justice delayed is justice denied; and without disciplinary justice and punitive accountability (2) processes promptly afforded to the long-suffering...

...people of South Sudan, there will never ever be true forgiveness in the face of ongoing impunity, no genuine healing and reconciliation, and ultimately, no durable peace within their young country.

“Form the Hybrid Court for South Sudan Now.”
