Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 78934, member: 636"] The US, UK, and Norway told South Sudan's leaders to stop the fighting before the whole country slides back into war. In a joint warning, the three nations called the recent surge in violence a major breach of the peace deal. They blamed the government under President Salva Kiir for breaking power-sharing promises, not paying workers, and misusing public money while outside groups fund basic services. Their statement said the country has gone from a middle-income nation to the world's poorest and most corrupt since independence. They demanded that all armed groups, especially the main rival factions, stop attacks immediately and talk. The government must end airstrikes on civilians, free political prisoners, and start paying salaries. The group also urged neighboring countries to send a strong message that the current path is unacceptable, saying real action could bring back international support. [/QUOTE]
