US Warning On South Sudan


The US has warned South Sudan's leaders not to go against the peace deal that was signed by President Salva Kiir yesterday, aimed at ending the 20-month civil war. State Department spokesman John Kirby said the country would "hold to account those who would undermine the agreement or violate the ceasefire".

When President Kiir put his name to the agreement on Wednesday he said that he had "reservations" about some of its clauses.

The US has responded that it does not "recognize any separate reservations made about the agreement and expect all parties to abide by all elements of the final peace agreement".
