Human Right groups urged United State of America’s President to support the arms embergo to South Sudan because more weapons mean more fuel to the fire, more attacks on civilians, arbitrary killings, rape, burnings and pillage.
In a letter to Barack Obama, the Secretariat team leader at the South Sudan Action Network on Small Arms Geoffrey Duke said Obama should ensure that 2015 is not a repeat of horrific of 2013 and 2014 for South Sudanese.
He urged President Obama to support a comprehensive United Nations arms embargo on South Sudan’s conflicting parties.
The leader lamented that the conflict looks set to continue, and the organizations are concerned that further crimes under international law and serious human rights violations and abuses are likely.
Nongovernmental organizations were calling for an arms embargo on South Sudan since early 2014.
