A/HRC/40/CRP.1 Goli is located in Central Equatoria State (new Yei River State) approximately 30 km to the north-west of Yei town along the Yei-Tore-Maridi road and approximately 50 km from Tore. Both Yei and Tore are held by the Government. 1238 However, in the territory between and surrounding the towns, while the SPLA-IO do not per se control the area, they are able to move freely, including in the Goli area.1239 The SPLA troops stationed in Tore are from the Presidential Guard Tiger Division and are under the direct command of the Divisional Headquarters in Juba.1240 Emmanuel Christian College (ECC) is located in Goli and includes a school as well as a clinic, a chapel, and residences for teachers and students in its compound. Since the July 2016 conflict, the ECC has only offered primary level schooling as the main college was moved to Yei for security reasons. 1241 Since 2016, the ECC has hosted approximately 4,000 IDPs from Yei, Tore and surrounding villages in its compound. 1242 Very early on the morning Monday, 14 May 2018, between 6:30 and 7:00, 1243 a large number of SPLA soldiers surrounded and then entered the ECC compound after “arresting” the ECC’s guards.1244 A number of witnesses were first alerted to their presence by the sound of gunshots.1245 Although there were school holidays in May, in addition to the IDPs, a number of the students were still present doing exam revision as were a number of the teachers and staff.1246 Witnesses indicated that more than 50 SPLA soldiers came to the ECC that morning, while some witnesses estimated that there may have been as many as 200, with one witness describing it as a whole battalion.1247 The soldiers were mostly from the Tiger Division in Tore, as witnesses recognized their uniforms with the word “Tiger” on them. 1248 However, a few were from other divisions, including at least one from Military Intelligence. 1249 Witnesses also identified that most, though not all, of the soldiers were Dinka on the basis of the language they spoke and their facial markings. 1250 The soldiers entered the compound and rounded up men and boys and separated them from the women and children. 1251 The men were questioned about whether there were “rebels” in the compound, their support for the SPLA-IO, and whether they had weapons.1252 CTSAMM, Report 2018/23 – Murder and Rape in Goli, Central Equatoria State, 7 July 2018, para. 2.10; Confidential Document, ERN D114940-D114954; Confidential Document, ERN D114955-D114961; Witness 699, ERN 101521-101529, para. 11. 1239 Witness 717, ERN 101388-101399, para. 6; CTSAMM, Report 2018/23 – Murder and Rape in Goli, Central Equatoria State, 7 July 2018, para. 1.1; Confidential Document, ERN D115036-D115084; Confidential Document, ERN D114955-D114961. 1240 CTSAMM, Report 2018/23 – Murder and Rape in Goli, Central Equatoria State, 7 July 2018, para. 2.10; Confidential Meeting, 18 August 2018; Confidential Meeting, 23 November 2018; Confidential Document, ERN D115036-D115084; Confidential Document, ERN D114940-D114954; Confidential Document, ERN D114955-D114961. 1241 CTSAMM, Report 2018/23 – Murder and Rape in Goli, Central Equatoria State, 7 July 2018, para. 1.1; Confidential Source, ERN D113590-D113600; Confidential Document, ERN D114131-D114144. 1242 Witness 717, ERN 101388-101399, para. 40; CTSAMM, Report 2018/23 – Murder and Rape in Goli, Central Equatoria State, 7 July 2018, para. 1.1; Confidential Document, ERN D114131-D114144; Confidential Document, ERN D115036-D115084. 1243 Witness 741, ERN 101417-101457, para. 5; Witness 700, ERN 101462-101469, para. 4; Witness 689, ERN 101400-101411, para. 4; Witness 723, ERN 101454-101461, para. 6; Witness 764, ERN 101946-101954, para. 4; Witness 703, ERN 101470101475, para. 5. 1244 Witness 741, ERN 101417-101457, para. 5; Witness 699, ERN 101521-101529, para. 6. 1245 Witness 700, ERN 101462-101469, para. 4. 1246 Witness 700, ERN 101462-101469, para. 4; Witness 699, ERN 101521-101529, para. 6. 1247 Witness 723, ERN 101454-101461, para. 6; Witness 700, ERN 101462-101469, paras. 4, 13; Witness 741, ERN 101417-101457, para. 9; Witness 764, ERN 101946-101954, para. 4; Witness 699, ERN 101521-101529, para. 6. 1248 Witness 723, ERN 101454-101461, para. 6; Witness 703, ERN 101470-101475, para. 5; Witness 741, ERN 101417-101457, paras. 9, 23; Witness 717, ERN 101388-101399, para. 23; Witness 764, ERN 101946-101954, para. 11; Witness 700, ERN 101462-101469, para. 4.
