NAIROBI – South Sudan rejects UN allegations its security services kidnapped two prominent government critics exiled in Kenya in 2017, flew them to Juba and days later executed the pair on a farm owned by President Salva Kiir, a government minister said on Wednesday.
“They should first ask Kenya where these two people are and not South Sudan,” he told Reuters. Idri and Dong were living in Nairobi when they disappeared in late January 2017.The UN experts said in their report www.undocs.org/S/2019/301 the men were flown to Juba on a commercial plane chartered by South Sudan's embassy on 27 January and held in cells in the NSS headquarters, known locally as the "Blue House.
The deal largely put an end to the fighting and, among other things, mandates the creation of a joint war crimes court with the African Union, otherwise referred to as the hybrid court.
