The U.S government has called for publication of the report of the African Union Commission of Inquiry into the current conflict.

Last year, the commission, headed by former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, investigated human rights violations and other abuses since the conflict started in December 2013.

But the AU Peace and Security Council postponed the publication of the report in January this year.

US secretary of state John Kerry told Eye Radio in Nairobi that the report must be published in order to end atrocities.

“There should be full disclosure, there should be full accountability, the report should be made public and you know you can’t hide atrocities,” Mr Kerry stated.

However, the South Sudanese government says the report should not be published because it could impede the peace process.

IGAD has not announced a new date for the resumption of the talks.

Meanwhile, Mr. Kerry says the Troika, the European Union and the United Nations are going to raise the level of effort in the next round of peace talks.

“What is happening [in South Sudan] is disgraceful, it is destroying not just the country – this newly born country in which all of us had such hope and such a sense of possibility – but is doing huge damage to the region where you have enormous numbers of refugees coming into Kenya and other places,” he added.

“It works against everybody’s interest and the Troika is going to push very hard, the UN, the United States, Great Britain, Norway, the EU, all of us are going to push very hard for some real decision making in these next days.”

Mr. Kerry says the influx of refugees from South Sudan into Kenya slows down the effort to fight Al-Shabab militants from Somalia.
