South Sudan troops killed 50 people

Ceasefire monitors have stated that South Sudan government troops killed some 50 people by stuffing them into a shipping container in extreme heat, thereby suffocating them in the process. 
The report is the latest atrocities in two years of war. South Suadan gained independence on 9th July, 2011 following a 2005 agreement that ended Africa's longest civil war. However, that independence has not brought peace to one of the most diverse countries in Africa. The troubled country has over 60 different major ethnic groups. The 2013-2015 civil war is believed to have displaced over 2.2 million people.
Despite an August peace deal, fighting continues, and the conflict now involves multiple militia forces who pay little heed to paper peace deals, driven by local agendas or revenge attacks.
The Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC) submitted their report to the African Union (AU) summit and it was made public late Sunday.
The atrocity, titled “concerning the killing of civilians in Unity State”, was one of several listed as examples of ceasefire violations carried out by forces on both sides.
“About 50 people suffocated in a container on about 22 October. The investigation was protracted. Attribution of responsibility: Government Forces,” the report read.
In South Sudan, metal containers often serve as makeshift prison cells with emperatures in the northern battleground state of Unity regularly top 40 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit).
The report also included crimes such as rape and murder, and the capture and looting of UN river barges.
There has been no immediate response from South Sudan’s army, but spokesmen have rejected a long list of previous reports detailing accusations of atrocities.
Both the government and rebel sides have been accused of carrying out ethnic massacres, recruiting and killing children. There have also been reports of widespread rape, torture and forced displacement of populations to “cleanse” areas of their opponents.

2016 budget is achievable - Planning Minister

The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udoma Udo Udoma, has assured that the 2016 budget could be achieved due to the ongoing reforms being undertaken by the current administration in spite of falling oil price.

He made this disclosure in a statement issued by the Director of Information in the ministry, Charles Dafe, in Abuja on Sunday.

He said that ongoing reforms were targeted at diversifying the revenue base of the country and would go on to guarantee the achievement of the budget.

“Our budget is achievable; we have ongoing reforms targeted at diversifying our revenue base away from single oil commodity economy.

“Our Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, is assiduously applying innovative financing in the oil sector to address any likely revenue gap from our projected oil revenue.

“Plugging leakages through zero tolerance to corruption, application of sound public financial management and improved revenue collection system are reforms targeted to achieve the budget,” it said.

The statement also added that the ministry would plan, advice and monitor all matters relating to national development, adding that it would also ensure that vital development policies were properly implemented by all stakeholders. He went on to add that allocation of 30 percent of the budget allocation to capital projects was important for the stimulation of economic growth and development. 

The Minister of State for Budget, Ms. Zainab Ahmed, however, said “substantial monies from recoveries of looted funds were not factored in as sources of revenue and as such would also be utilized for our development projects.

“We are counting on assistance from other developmental partners like the African Development Bank to access N1.8 trillion loans needed for Nigeria infrastructural development.

“Assistance is also required in our 2016-2020 medium Term Expenditure Frameworks and the Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal.”
