South Sudan risks return to large-scale conflict – UN

The UN has warned that the slow implementation of the peace accord in South Sudan is putting the country at risk of a return to large-scale conflict.

A new report has recommended that the arms embargo be extended and for new sanctions against those who hinder the implementation of the peace deal.

Since its signing three years ago, the country has experienced many incidents of violence between supporters of President Salva Kiir, and his rival, Riek Machar, who under the terms of the agreement was reappointed vice-president.

The report says the conflict has prevented the delivery of humanitarian aid putting the people of South Sudan in urgent need of assistance.
