the U.S. Department of State announced it is placing visa restrictions on several individuals linked to the ongoing conflict in South Sudan.
The department highlighted the continued failure of South Sudan’s leaders to prioritize the well-being of the nation’s citizens, pointing to their inability to address corruption, prevent the exploitation of the country’s resources by elites, protect human rights, and ensure peace. The U.S. also criticized the government’s failure to safeguard the civil and political rights of its people.
