NDM condemns targeted killings in Wau town

WAU (13 Apr.)

The National Democratic Movement (NDM), a rebel group fighting against
South Sudan government, has condemned in the strongest terms possible the
recent killings of innocent civilians by government troops and allied
militia in Wau town.

The rebel group is led by Dr. Lam Akol, who resigned his position in the
unity government last year and described the country’s fragile peace
agreement as “dead.” “It is to be recalled that last week similar targeting
and murdering of innocent civilians mostly from the Acholi ethnic group
occurred in the village of Pajok in Eastern Equatoria,” said the armed
group in a statement seen by Radio Tamazuj.

 The statement authored by the group’s spokesman, Emmanuel Aban said these
escalations of violence against civilians across South Sudan are consistent
reminder that the Kiir government has started its policy of ethnic
cleansing.

The NDM called upon the international community to hold the government of
South Sudan accountable for the killing of innocent civilians in Wau town
and condemn the atrocities committed by the Juba government.“As the
international community decries the killing of civilians in Syria, it is
time for the international community to collectively put an end to the
culture of impunity in South Sudan,” party reads the statement.

The armed opposition group also called on the UN Security Council to call
for an urgent meeting on the current situation in South Sudan.
