A/HRC/34/63 armed attacks on aid workers in Eastern Equatoria, Central Equatoria, Western Equatoria, Lakes and Western Bahr el Ghazal, for which nobody has been held accountable. In December 2016, at least 116 aid workers were relocated from Central Equatoria, Upper Nile and Unity. Millions of dollars worth of aid has also been looted throughout the country. Humanitarian vehicles have been targeted and damaged, and staff members robbed. Despite the growing humanitarian crisis, in December 2016, the Government ordered senior staff members of an international humanitarian organization to leave South Sudan, without any explanation. IV. Overview of the situation of human rights 24. The Commission notes how difficult it is to illustrate the sheer scale and increase in violations being committed throughout the country without being able to list hundreds of reported incidents, which would go beyond the scope of the present report. The events described below are emblematic of the kinds of incidents being reported every month in various States, including, most worryingly, those that were peaceful a year ago. A. Violations of the right to life and bodily integrity 25. Since the outbreak of violence in 2013, civilians have been deliberately and systematically targeted on the basis of their ethnicity by armed forces and groups, including SPLA and SPLM/A in Opposition, and also by groups aligned with them. Individuals have been targeted for killing, arbitrary arrest and detention, sexual violence, sexual slavery and forced marriage. Communities have been subjected to scorched-earth policies that result in the destruction of their homes and means of livelihood. Many of the attacks have been carried out by SPLA soldiers and the militias affiliated with them. Armed groups attack villages, burn homes, kill and rape. Interviewees described seeing corpses with their hands tied behind their backs and their mouths taped closed. 26. The Commission notes that, in many instances, the Dinka-dominated Government, through its National Security Service and SPLA, intentionally targets non-Dinka ethnic groups. Government leaders and politicians, including the President, have engaged in hate speech and ethnically divisive rhetoric on social media. There have been numerous reports of SPLA soldiers targeting Nuer civilians and raping Nuer women, while accusing the women or their families of “supporting the rebels”. The killings, disappearance and rape of Nuer persons by SPLA during the July violence in Juba also indicate a deliberate attempt by government forces to target this ethnic group. 27. According to UNMISS internal situation reports, SPLA soldiers were also responsible for numerous cases of killings, torture, rape and beatings in Western Equatoria, where more than 18 incidents were reported between December 2016 and January 2017. SPLA was also alleged to be responsible for the displacement in January 2017 of more than 700 civilians fleeing violence in Bazumburu, Rimenze, Bodo, Gitikiri and surrounding villages. UNMISS patrols reported having found six corpses alongside the road between Madebe and Bangusu, approximately 70 km from Yambio town in Western Equatoria. The corpses, said to be members of the Zande tribe, were reportedly found blindfolded and with their hands tied. 28. On 8 October 2016, 20 civilians were found dead in Central Equatoria, on the Yei to Juba road; most were internally displaced persons. According to United Nations reports, the killings were ethnically motivated (S/2016/950, para. 41). 29. In October 2016, in Upper Nile State, 33 civilians were injured in clashes between SPLA and SPLM/A in Opposition, involving repeated firing of mortar shells into Wau 7
