US threatens South Sudan with sanctions over alleged aid obstruction
Washington has accused officials across South Sudan’s government of obstructing aid and treating humanitarian assistance as a source of revenue.
The United States has threatened to impose sanctions on South Sudan, accusing officials at national, state and local levels of obstructing humanitarian assistance.
According to a France 24 report, Washington alleges that officials have treated humanitarian aid as a source of revenue.
The supplied report does not identify the officials involved or specify which sanctions the United States is considering.
It also does not say when sanctions might be imposed, and contains no response from South Sudan.
The allegations have not been independently substantiated in the supplied material. The United States has threatened sanctions, but no measures are reported to have been imposed.
