South Sudan: Washington threatens Juba with sanctions over humanitarian crisis
Washington is threatening South Sudan with sanctions if the humanitarian situation does not improve, with 10 million people in need of assistance.
The United States has warned South Sudanese authorities that they could face sanctions if there is no improvement in the country's humanitarian situation.
A strongly worded statement was released on Sunday, September 20, by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of African Affairs, urging Juba to take urgent action. According to American authorities, approximately 10 million people currently need humanitarian assistance in South Sudan.
This warning comes at a time when the country remains marked by persistent instability since its independence, with chronic humanitarian difficulties affecting a large portion of the population.
The threat of American sanctions is aimed at pressuring the South Sudanese government to take concrete measures in response to this crisis, in a country where access to aid remains a major challenge for humanitarian organizations.
Details were provided by France 24's correspondent in Nairobi, Bastien Renouil, who is monitoring the regional situation.
