According to United Nations senior human rights officials Ivan Šimonović (Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights), The conflict in South Sudan has turned into a horrifying humanitarian and human rights disaster.
Mass atrocities have been committed by both sides with thousands of people killed and hundreds of thousands of others displaced. Mr. Šimonović says he has seen horrifying scenes in Bentiu, the capital of South Sudan’s Unity State.
“Bentui is a ghost town. That town had 40,000 inhabitants. We didn’t find a single civilian in the town. Everything is burnt down and looted. When we were driving through the streets, not looking in houses and elsewhere, just by the roads, we could see about 15 to 20 decomposing bodies, just by the streets, some of them being obviously civilians or being tied before being killed.”
Accountability is vital in situations of this nature. Mr. Ivan Šimonović is requesting an impartial fact-finding commission to find out what occurred and who should be held accountable.

I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet
I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as
you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
I must admit that your post is really interesting. I have spent a lot of my spare time reading your content. Thank you a lot!
