Accountability for killings in Ukraine from January 2014 to May 2016DonbassFullAccess
Since its deployment on 14 March 2014, the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) has been gathering substantial information related to the arbitrary deprivation of life, one of the gravest human rights violations, notably during assemblies, in 2014 and 2015, as well as in the eastern areas affected by the ongoing conflict.
The report covers the period from January 2014 to May 2016, and applies to the whole territory of Ukraine, including the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, as per United Nations General Assembly resolution 68/262 on the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Special attention is paid to the east of Ukraine where an armed conflict has been ongoing since mid-April 2014, causing the highest number of fatalities.
The report is based on information that HRMMU collected through: interviews with witnesses, relatives of victims and their lawyers; analysis of corroborating material confidentially shared with HRMMU; official records; open-source documents and video,
photo and audio materials (including some produced by alleged perpetrators); forensic reports; criminal investigation materials; court documents; and other relevant and reliable materials.
This expert report examines cases of civilian casualties documented by the Mission throughout 2016 in relation to ceasefire violations and the conduct of hostilities.
Baringo County Chief Officer (CO) for Finance Richard Koech has dismissed claims that the county government has in its 2014-15 financial year paid sh272million to ‘Ghost’ workers.

The Paxos protocol is the foundation for building many fault-tolerant distributed systems and services. Given the importance of Paxos, and performance improvements to the protocol would have a significant impact on data-center infrastructure. We argue that implementing Paxos in network devices would significantly improve its performance. This talk describes an implementation of Paxos in P4, as well as our on-going efforts to evaluate the implementation on Netronome intelligent server adapters. Implementing Paxos provides a critical use case for P4, and will help drive the requirements for data plane languages in general. In the long term, we imagine that consensus could someday be offered as a network service.

PRESS RELEASE
THE TABAN DENG CONSPIRACY AND OVERTHROW OF THE TGONU
The leadership of the SPLM/SPLA (In Opposition) would like to set the record straight regarding
the return to armed conflict in South Sudan. The SPLM/SPLA - In Opposition (IO) is deeply
disappointed in the lack of political will exhibited by the SPLM/SPLA (In Government), which
has led to the collapse of the peace process and a return to armed conflict in the Republic of South
Sudan. This resumption of conflict started on July 8th, 2016; with the Transitional Government of
National Unity effectively being forced out of existence.
The recent events that took place in South Sudan, from July 8th, 2016 - must be understood in the
context of the entire peace process:
THE NEGOTIATIONS
The negotiations of the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (ARCISS)
has been characterized by an incredible lack of political will on the side of our partners and this
has been shown by:
1. The SPLM/SPLA (IO) started negotiations with SPLM/SPLA (IG) on the January 4th,
2014; and by January 23rd the warring parties signed a Cessation of Hostilities (CoH)
Agreement. The forces could have been separated and cantoned at this time and peace
could have been achieved more rapidly.
2. The forces of the SPLM/SPLA (IO) where in all the Major towns of Unity State, Upper
Nile State, and some of Jong’lei State at the time of the signing of the CoH Agreement.
The forces of the SPLM/SPLA (IG); however, disregarded the January 23rd CoH
Agreement and went on an all-out offensive. This blatant violation led to an IGAD Summit
in which the warring parties rededicated themselves to the CoH Agreement on May 9th,
2014.
3. The President declared upon his return at Juba International Airport: “I signed the
Agreement under duress”. Instead of containing the conflict, the conflict spread to the other
regions of South Sudan; namely Greater Bhar el Gazal and Greater Equatoria.
2. 2
4. The President refused to sign the ARCISS on August 17th, 2015; despite the fact that it was
signed by all the stakeholders including South Sudanese Civil Societies and the Mediators
as guarantors.
5. The President; instead, signed the Executive Order 36/2015 (known as the 28 States), in
contradiction to the Agreement. The President would later sign the ARCISS on August
22nd, 2015 – but with reservations.
THE IMPLEMENTATION
The SPLM/SPLA (IG) led by President Salva Kiir continued to show this lack of political will
during the implementation process. This is why the Mediators had to suggest the provisions of the
ARCISS be circumvented; in order to prevent the Agreement from premature collapse. The SPLM
(IO) was forced to go to Juba to implement the ARCISS, despite the fact that Juba had not been
demilitarized in accordance to the provisions of the Agreement, a central part to the security
arrangements. The IG even tried to humiliate the FVP by refusing to give him an office, in addition
to this:
1. The SPLM (IG) frustrated the process of establishment of the National Constitutional
Amendment Committee (NCAC)
a. The NCAC would have initiated the process of expanding and reconstituting the
parliament to include the other stakeholders in the ARCISS. This process would
establish the Transitional National Legislative Assembly (TNLA);
b. 11.4 The selection of the Speaker of the TNLA, who hails from Equatoria, shall be
conducted once the expansion of the membership of the Assembly is complete. This has
been blatantly violated by our partners;
c. The NCAC would also initiate the processes for a constitutional amendment, to
incorporate the ARCISS into the constitution for the transitional period;
d. The Transitional Government of National Unity (TGONU) can only be formed after
these processes are complete;
2. The minutes of the Permanent Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements
(PCTSA) Workshop, stipulate the total forces that shall constitute the Presidential Guards,
Administration Battalion, Guards of Unified Shared Command, Military Police, National
Security Services and Joint Integrated Police, numbering 2’910.
a. The first group, constituting 1’370 troops arrived in Juba; however, the government
denied travel to the remaining 1’540 to be transported. In violation of the ARCISS;
b. In addition, the Security Arrangements of the ARCISS outlines the type of weapons
issued to each squad and the SPLM/SPLA (in opposition); however, this also had to be
renegotiated. In violation of the ARCISS;
3. 3
c. The Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangement Monitoring Mechanisms
(CTSAMM) was to verify the demilitarization of Juba before the arrival of the First
Vice President Designate. This was also frustrated by our partners and the SPLM/SPLA
(IO) was forced to go to Juba without its demilitarization, which led to the incidences
of harassment at illegal SPLA (IG) check points. In violation of the ARCISS;
3. The issue of Cantonment Areas, clearly stipulated in the ARCISS – Chapter II:
Permanent Ceasefire and Transitional Arrangements; however, this was made into a
stumbling block by our partners in peace. In Article 2 it states:
a. 2.1. The warring parties agree to the separation, assembly and cantonment of their
forces previously in combat within thirty (30) days of the signing of this Agreement to
enable personnel, weapons and equipment accountability, screening, re-organization
and /or disarmament and demobilization. Forces in cantonment shall receive non-
military logistical supply including food, shelter and access to medical care.
b. 2.2. The warring parties agree that the forces that shall be cantoned shall be those
forces previously in combat in Juba, Jong’lei, Unity, and Upper Nile States, and any
other forces related to the conflict in other areas that are declared by the warring
Parties during the Permanent Ceasefire Arrangements Workshop.
c. The IG refused to accept cantonment areas for SPLM IO in Equatoria and Bhargazal,
despite the fact that the areas proposed by the SPLM/SPLA IO had been declared at
the PCTSA Workshop.
LOU CLINIC - MILITARY CHECKPOINT INCIDENT. (JULY 7, 2016)
The events which led to the shootout at Lou Clinic Military Checkpoint on Gudele Road
(07/07/2016) in Juba, must be understood in the context of this lack of political will by our partners
to implement - Chapter II: Permanent Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements .
This required Juba to be demilitarized and secured by a joint force under a joint military command.
The SPLM/SPLA IO lost several officers after being arrested illegally by the Military Intelligence
of the Forces of the IG. This insecurity is what led to the incidences on Gudele Road; the following
is a summary of the security report issued by the SPLM/SPLA IO:
1. At around 8:00 pm two cars from the guards of the FVP Dr. Riek Machar Teny took food
to the soldiers guarding the office of the FVP Dr. Riek Machar Teny. The two cars, after
dropping food, were driving back to Jebel Site area.
2. The services car of the house of FVP Dr. Riek Machar Teny with only one driver was
stopped by SPLA Military Police. The driver alerted the other car that his car was stopped
by the SPLA.
4. 4
3. The other car stopped and the soldiers came out of the car and informed the SPLA Military
Intelligent that the car they are searching belongs to the FVP Dr. Riek Machar Teny
together with this car and the soldiers are also guards of FVP Dr. Riek Machar Teny.
4. The officer leading the SPLA Military Intelligent who stopped the car ordered his soldiers
to "arrest all" and immediately the SPLA Military Intelligent responded by advancing to
arrest and the SPLA IO started to pull back to their cars. All of a sudden the SPLA Military
Intelligent fired at the SPLA IO soldiers.
5. The shootout started there. 2 SPLA IO soldiers were wounded. 1 SPLA Military Intelligent
were wounded soldier and 4 SPLA Soldiers killed.
6. In another note, President Salva Kiir Mayardit and First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar
Teny at around 8:50 pm talked on the phone and agreed to appeal for calm and ordered the
Generals from both sides to stop this incident.
7. Moreover, in another incident, at around 9:00 pm near the USA Embassy Residence at the
Airport Road a USA Embassy Bullet proof car with 7 Diplomats inside was sprayed with
50 rounds of bullets by the SPLA Soldiers. The Diplomats survived because of the car
being armored.
THE STATE HOUSE (J1) SHOOTOUT
The following day the situation was very tense in Juba, the events leading to the J1 Shootout:
1. The Regular Meeting of the Council of Ministers was cancelled and instead a separate
meeting was held at J1 at the recommendation of the President’s security personnel.
2. As the President, the First Vice President and the Vice President were meeting inside J1,
their guards engaged in a gunfight outside (on the street and within the compound); all the
body guards of the FVP outside were killed. It was only the close protection inside who
survived, and managed to secure the FVP.
3. The President, the First Vice President and the Vice President addressed the media
immediately after the incident. They called a ceasefire and called on the civil population to
be calm.
5. 5
4. The President stated in his address that they did not know what happened as the events
happened outside; the President later changed his story and alleged that the FVP had a
pistol and was trying to kill him and was trying to stage a coup.
5. The President then formed an investigation committee to investigate what led to the
gunfight outside J1. The team was headed by the (then) Minister of Interior - Gen. Alfred
Lado Gore.
6. The following day the ceasefire was violated and militias allied to the President attacked
the cantonment areas of the SPLM/SPLA IO (with helicopter gunships and T-72 Tanks);
the attack included the residence of the FVP, who was forced out of Juba by these events.
7. Then to the bewilderment of the whole world, our partners in peace, who’s allied forces
attacked the FVP, issued a statement for the FVP to return within 48 Hours or face being
replaced.
8. The SPLM/SPLA IO has since been fighting a war of self-defense as the Chief of General
Staff of the IG has ordered his militias to hunt down and assassinate the legitimate FVP of
the TGONU.
9. The failure of the warring parties to implement the security arrangements, the attack of
SPLM/SPLA Cantonment areas across the country, culminating on the Juba attack which
included the residence of the FVP; has led the leadership of the SPLM/SPLA IO to either
flee Juba, or seek refuge in the UNMISS PoC’s.
10. The absence of the SPLM/SPLA IO from the TGONU means that the current government
in Juba is illegitimate.
THE CROWN HOTEL SHAM PROCESS DISMISSAL OF GEN. TABAN DENG
The attack on the cantonement areas of the SPLM/SPLA IO in Juba by our partners and the failure
to implement the security arrangements of the ARCISS has led the leaders of the SPLM/SPLA IO
to withdraw from Juba while others have sought refuge in the UNMISS PoC’s. The insecurity
faced by SPLM/SPLA IO leaders after the collapse of the security arrangements, was not
conducive for the leadership to sit. The process which was held at the Crown Hotel in Juba, which
endorsed General Taban to replace the legitimate FVP was not only illegal, but was a conspiracy
by elements within the IO and the IG to dismantle the ARCISS. The main conspirator in the
SPLM/SPLA IO is Gen. Taban Deng Gai, who was dismissed from the Movement days before he
was illegally appointed by President Salva Kiir to his new Government.
The dismissal of Gen. Taban Deng Gai was the following grounds:
6. 6
1. Under article 9 of the Constitution of the SPLM/SPLA IO, he was found to have failed
to uphold duties and obligations by abiding by the Constitution itself, Internal Rules as
well as Code of conduct. This provisions are read together with Rule 1.3.1 of the Internal
Rules, 2015
2. His dismissal came after he proved through the state owned (SSTV) showing that the
current plot to topple the TGoNU was his idea as well as conspiring to assassinated Dr.
Machar, the FVP so that the whole agreement is abrogated. And that was an adequate
ground for a member of the SPLM/SPLA IO to lose his membership when he or she is
found to be engaged in activities that undermine the objectives and policies of the
movement, contrary to this Constitution, Code of Conduct, Internal Rules and
Regulations. And as such, he was dismissed from SPLM/SPLA IO on 22/07/2016 before
he completed his plot to illegally take over the leadership of SPLM/SPLA IO. Therefore,
whatever, he and his anti-peace group have done will remain null and void as long as it is
inconsistent with the Peace Agreement. This provision is read together with rule 1.4.7 of
the same Internal Rules.
3. Gen. Taban Deng Gai has been found by the leadership of the SPLM/SPLA IO to have
engaged in a series of serious offences contrary to section 14 of the Code of Conduct,
2015 of the SPLM/SPLA IO, on the following grounds by:
a. Waging or conspiring to wage an armed opposition against the movement as well
as assassinate its leadership;
b. Violation of the SPLM/SPLA IO Constitution, basic documents and disobedience
of orders from the movement leadership;
c. Collaborating with:
(1) the movement’s adversary and in particular with IG Leadership to abrogate
peace agreement and return the country back to war;
(2) the IG leadership who have seriously interfered with the work of the movement
and attempted to prevent it from fulfilling its mission and objectives by waging
and attempting to assassinate its leader and forcing him to leave for Gen. Taban
Deng Gai to illegally replace him;
(3) Sabotaging and making negative agitation against the SPLM/SPLA IO;
(4) Divulging or disclosing of the movement’s secrets;
(5) Supporting acts not authorized by the movement and which are detrimental to
the movement, for example, by rejecting the very fundamental component of
the peace agreement like, security arrangement, ten states, institutional reforms
as well as accountability (hybrid court) among other things;
(6) Participating in organized factional activity that goes beyond the recognized
norms of free debate inside the movement and threatens its unity;
7. 7
(7) Behaviors which brings the movement into disrupt or which manifests a flagrant
violation of the moral integrity expected of members or conduct unbecoming
of a member;
(8) Spreading rumors with the intention of creating conflict and division within the
movement;
(9) Negative criticism of the movement in public and defamation and character
assassination to the SPLM/SPLA IO leader.
4. On Agreement on Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan - Gen. Taban Deng Gai has
violated the very agreement he had negotiated. Under clause 6.4 of Chapter I: “In the
event that the post of the First Vice President falls vacant during the Transitional period,
for any reason including mental infirmity or physical incapacity of the office holder, the
replacement shall be nominated by the top leadership body of the South Sudan Armed
Opposition as at the signing of the Agreement. Such a process of replacement shall not
exceed forty-eight (48) hours. The successor as the First Vice President shall serve in office
until the end of the Transitional Period.”
The issue here is whether the First Vice President post has fallen vacant? Reading the
above-quoted provision it is clear that the provision is talking about permanent vacancy of
the FVP’s post; the phrase: “for any reason” may including death and resignation which
are not explicitly mention under the same provisions. Issue of mental infirmity and physical
incapacity are not relevant to this situation. Considering the circumstances in which the
FVP was attacked and later force out of Juba under a heavy fire by militias allied to
individual Generals – with T-72 and gunship helicopter and as a result his residence was
completely destroyed. Therefore, such a situation does not fall under Clause 6.4 and hence
the FVP post is not vacant because what has happened is the collapse of the TGoNU.
Under Clause 6.5 of the same Chapter: “In the event of temporary absence of the First
Vice President, the First Vice President may delegate a senior South Sudan Armed
Opposition Minister to carry out functions and duties as stipulated in this Agreement.”
This temporary absence for example, is like a foreign trip to which the FVP may spend
some days so, in that case he has a prerogative or discretion power to delegate his functions
and powers to a senior South Sudan Armed Opposition. This situation is not applicable to
Gen. Taban Deng Gai - as he was dismissed before being crowned in Crown Hotel in Juba.
In the light of the above, the leadership of SPLM/SPLA IO is convinced that Gen. Taban
Deng Gai has violated SPLM/SPLA IO Constitution, Internal Rules and Code of
Conduct and as a result he was dismissed and whatever he is doing is illegal with the fact
he is no longer a member of SPLM/SPLA IO, secondly, he has proved to work for
8. 8
abrogation of the Peace Agreement by denouncing the key components of the ARCISS (i.e.
Security arrangements, Accountability for crimes committed, institutional reforms etc.).
THE WAY FORWARD
The leadership of the SPLM/SPLA IO under Dr. Riek Machar (the legitimate FVP) is
calling on the region and international community not to recognize the coup against
TGoNU. The leadership of the SPLM/SPLA IO further urge the region and international
community to expedite interventional forces under the UN revised mandate such that Peace
Agreement does not derail into a full scale of war in the country.
The SPLM/SPLA IO leadership welcomes the intervention/protection force proposed by
IGAD, AU and the UN; which is in line with the call of the FVP, who will only return to
Juba to commence the true implementation of the ARCISS. This will create a conducive
security environment that will facilitate the smooth implementation of the Agreement, as
the warring parties have failed to implement the security arrangements.
The SPLM/SPLA IO believes in the spirit of the ARCISS as the only solution to the conflict
in South Sudan. The Movement calls on the region and the world, to expedite this process
of intervention/protection so that we can rescue the suffering people of South Sudan; who’s
suffering is compounded by a complete breakdown of law and order all over the country.
This is evident by the increase of violence which has even reached the UNMISS PoC’s and
looting of humanitarian relief intended for vulnerable people.
The SPLM/SPLA in Opposition reiterates its full commitment to the implementation of the
ARCISS and our appeal to the region and the world to expedite the process of
intervention/protection. The Movement also takes this opportunity to assert our natural
right of self-defense and our capability to restore law and order in the country, in the event
that there is no intervention and continued offensive by our partners.
