The US government on Tuesday announced visa restrictions targeting members of South Sudan’s transitional government. The government accused senior officials of undermining peace efforts, fuelling corruption, and pushing the country closer to another devastating civil war.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that these measures were being imposed under the Immigration and Nationality Act against officials who have been accused of obstructing the implementation of the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) — the fragile 2018 peace deal intended to end years of bloodshed.
