The Sudanese committee investigating the recent killings of South Sudanese civilians in Wad Madani has submitted its findings to Sudan's Foreign Minister. The report absolves Sudan of any wrongdoing, instead accusing South Sudan of recruiting its citizens to fight alongside the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Sudan's Foreign Minister declared the investigation closed and stated that the report would not be shared with the South Sudanese government.
This development has been met with strong condemnation from both the people and government of South Sudan, further straining relations between the two nations.
In response to the killings, South Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Sudanese Ambassador Issam Karrar to express deep concern over the events in Wad Madani.
The ministry emphasized the need for immediate and effective measures to protect the rights and dignity of all foreign nationals, particularly South Sudanese citizens in affected areas.
Additionally, the First Deputy Speaker of South Sudan's Transitional National Legislative Assembly, Oyet Nathaniel Pierino, called for the establishment of a joint investigation committee to thoroughly examine the killings.
He highlighted the historical bond between Sudan and South Sudan and condemned the escalating violence against South Sudanese civilians.
Despite these calls for accountability, Sudan's Foreign Minister has declared the investigation closed, refusing to share the report with South Sudan's government.
This stance has been perceived as an outright insult, exacerbating tensions between the neighboring countries.
The situation remains fluid, with ongoing diplomatic efforts to address the grievances and seek justice for the victims.
The international community is closely monitoring the developments, urging both nations to engage in constructive dialogue to resolve the crisis.
