UN chief warns of South Sudan genocide unless world acts
UNITED NATIONS -- Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned Monday that South Sudan will be heading toward genocide unless immediate action is taken to impose an arms embargo and pressure leaders of the world's newest nation to end hate speech, incitement and violence.
The UN chief said instability in South Sudan is threatening the region and he urged the Security Council to impose an arms embargo, which would "diminish the capacity of all sides to wage war."
"If we fail to act, South Sudan will be on a trajectory towards mass atrocities," Ban warned.
