The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has rejected recent remarks made following the renewal of the UN sanctions regime on South Sudan, describing them as a misrepresentation of the country’s current realities. In a statement, the Ministry reaffirmed President Salva Kiir’s commitment to implementing the Revitalized Peace Agreement, promoting national unity, and advancing democratic transition.
The Government argued that continued sanctions and the arms embargo undermine state institutions and hinder security sector reforms needed to protect civilians and implement peace arrangements.
