The United States has issued a warning to South Sudan’s government, accusing it of exploiting foreign aid while obstructing humanitarian operations and violating its international commitments.

In a notably direct communiqué titled, Time to Stop Taking Advantage of the United States, the US Bureau of African Affairs alleged that South Sudan’s government had imposed “unreasonable” charges on humanitarian deliveries and impeded UN peacekeeping activities.
