Minister of Cabinet Affairs Dr. Martin Elia Lomuro has accused the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan of compiling \u2018concocted\u2019 report in a frantic push for regime change. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a workshop to analyze two human rights reports, Dr. Lomuro criticized UN Commission on human rights under Yasmin Sooka for incessantly distorting the country\u2019s image for their own \u2018clandestine\u2019 agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYear in and out, we are being disreputed by report of human right council in Geneva and by UNMISS and various other clandestine organizations including NGOs that claims of misreport of human rights in South Sudan,\u201d Lomuro said.        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe human rights council specifically the office of the commissioner of human rights in South Sudan and her staff continuously preyed on reputation for the country for their employment and other purposes such as sanctions, arms embargo and regime change,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, in spite of huge improvement on human rights records in South Sudan as a country emerging out of war, still UN rights commission keeps government hostage to scare away investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey kept us hostage with unfounded allegations and claims to tarnish the image of our country, discourage the investors and undermine development in our country,\u201d Lomuro added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minster Lomuro claims that human rights body has gone beyond their mandate and start reporting on political economy, rebellion, inter-communal conflicts, cattle raiding and the agreement itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe all know the standards of human rights in terms of violations that are constitutional in any country but as you can see, they have gone out of it, to areas that have nothing to do with human rights,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey say all this is happening because all of us here, president, our five vice presidents, our cabinet and parliament don\u2019t care and that it is our policy to abuse citizens in this country,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Lomuro stated that commissioner Ms. Sooka is totally oblivious of the fact that the country is being built from zero, adding that their move shows that they are for \u2018secret\u2019 mission of regime change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course, the commissioner is driven by regime change agenda of others who do not want peace and political stability and development in our country,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was reacting to UN experts report, on Feb 14 by 18 UN experts team that visited the country to discuss human rights situation, compile latest finding and recommendations before UN Human Rights council\u2019s 52nd<\/sup> session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United Nations Commission on Human Rights called on South Sudanese leaders to end all hostilities against civilians in South Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioner Barney Afako said \u201cThe suffering across the country remains immense. South Sudanese women and girls continue to face unspeakable sexual violence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Commissioner Andrew Clapham said they were still shocked by the continued attacks on civilians while culprits at large are left to scot-free.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur Commission has documented human rights violations in South Sudan for many years, but we were still shocked by the sexual violence and continuing attacks against civilians,\u201d Clapham lamented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThe accounts from survivors are horrific. Many people the Commission has met have experienced attacks over and over again. At the same time, people responsible for crimes walk free\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
