UN calls for investigations into South Sudan's government after accusing its members of committing human rights violations 'amounting to war crimes' in the country's southwest
Over the years more than two million South Sudanese have fled their country in search of safety, creating Africa's largest refugee crisis.
It said the organisation had "reasonable grounds to believe that members of the Government of South Sudan have engaged in acts... amounting to war crimes" in the southwestern districts of Central Equatoria and Western Equatoria. "The notion that the localised violence is not linked to the State or to national-level conflicts, as suggested by the Government and South Sudanese military elites, is a fallacy," Sooka said.The world's newest nation has suffered from chronic instability since independence in 2011.
