Akshaya Kumar on BBC Newsday: Six Generals Face Sanctions

Posted by Enough Team on July 13, 2015

The United Nations Security Council has imposed sanctions on six generals accused of fueling ongoing fighting in South Sudan. The generals, three each from each side of the conflict, will face global travel bans and asset freezes. The sanctions comes just days after a UN report alleged that government troops had gang raped and burned alive women and girls in the oil rich Unity State, during an offensive against rebel troops.
