A/HRC/40/CRP.1 including civilians being taken to Ngo Baggari and Grinthi SPLA barracks in Wau. One witness described how after being questioned by the soldiers in this fashion, they took money from her and some of her clothing. They also “took my baby’s clothing off and when they saw she is a girl they returned her to me and said they would have killed my child if it had been a boy.”1346 The Commission heard numerous accounts of men and women being captured and detained by SPLA soldiers in the Wau Triangle. In the case of men, they were accused of being rebels, and taken to Grinthi SPLA barracks in Wau.1347 Meanwhile, one woman from Mboro recounted being captured SPLA soldiers while gathering leaves for food and detained in Mboro for four days.1348 Other women were likewise captured and detained in the Mboro and Baggari barracks.1349 The particular witnesses the Commission spoke to did not report ill-treatment during these detentions. The fighting and attacks on the civilian population resulted in significant population displacement. For example, it was reported that more than 12,000 of the 89,000 inhabitants of Farajallah were sheltering in the bushes in early September while only approximately 1,000 of the approximately 18,500 inhabitants of Baggari were still there by October 2018.1350 In the 10 days between 7 and 17 October 2018, the number of IDPs from Ngoko, Ngo Pere and Mboro sheltering in the Toby primary school in Wau increased from 80 to 620. 1351 Additionally, 9,101 individuals and 513 households arrived in the Lokoloko IDP camp in Wau town in the month of October, again primarily from Ngoko and Ngo Pere.1352 Even more traumatically, many of those who fled were displaced multiple times as the places they fled to subsequently also came under attack. For example, a number of those who fled Mboro in June 2018 took shelter for about a month in the bush in a place called Ngozili.1353 They lived on leaves, cassava and other crops they could gather in the area and sheltered as best they could from the rainy season weather.1354 However, they were forced to flee again when Ngozili was attacked one afternoon. Although they had already lost everything when displaced, even the plastic sheeting they had managed to find to protect them from rainy season was looted by the soldiers.1355 This time around, they were displaced to Ngoko. Similarly, Ngo Pere is a small village of 1,000 inhabitants which is located in between Mboro and Ngoko.1356 When it was attacked in September 2018, it was already sheltering about 2,000 civilians who had fled Mboro when it was attacked earlier in September.1357 Early one morning, SPLA soldiers coming from Mboro attacked Ngo Pere using heavy weaponry and military vehicles.1358 While many of the inhabitants had already fled, they shot into one house where a mother and her children were sheltering, killing her five year old son. Her other son was hit in the neck and chest by fragments from the shelling and was injured. 1359 Magnifying the impact of the displacement on the population was the fact that no humanitarian agencies had been able to access the Baggari area for more than two months from mid-June 2018 until 22 August which is when WFP gained access. Thereafter, in early September other organisations were also able to access the area. 1360 The result was that displaced people, who had had their harvests looted or destroyed were left to fend for themselves in the bush. 1346 Witness 968, ERN 101920-101924, para. 9; Witness 966, ERN 101909-101913, para. 7.
