The United States, on Thursday,
threatened visa restrictions on anyone, who attempts to damage the peace
process in South Sudan.
Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo,
said Washington would implement visa restrictions barring those who “undermine
or impede the peace process in South Sudan’’ from entering the U.S.
“The people of South Sudan have
suffered enough while their leaders delay the implementation of a sustainable
peace.
“The South Sudanese deserve
leaders, who are committed to building consensus and willing to compromise for
the greater good,” Pompeo said in a statement
He added that the visa
restrictions could also apply to family members.
The announcement comes after
Washington earlier this week imposed sanctions on five South Sudan officials it
said are responsible for the likely murders of two human rights activists in
2017.
In November, the U.S. recalled
its ambassador from South Sudan.
