US warns against deliberate starvation tactics in South Sudan

NEW YORK (26 Mar.)

The United States has warned South Sudan government against preventing
humanitarian assistance from reaching areas affected by famine.

The United Nations has declared a famine in some parts of South Sudan,
where 5.5 million people face food shortages.

Deputy U.S. Ambassador Michele Sison warned Kiir’s government on Thursday
that preventing aid workers from reaching parts of the country that are
suffering famine could “amount to deliberate starvation tactics.”“The
famine is not a result of drought. It is the result of leaders more
interested in political power and personal gain than in stopping violence
and allowing humanitarian access,” Sison told the UN Security Council.
