As South Sudan develops its state institutions, and with new leadership in Somalia, tackling impunity must be a matter of priority in both countries.
The East and Horn of Africa Human Rights Defenders Project, the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies and the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies express their deep concern at the ongoing grave human rights violations in Sudan.
