Washington (AFP) - President Barack Obama cleared the way Thursday for US sanctions against anyone on either side of South Sudan's civil war who targets UN peacekeepers, threatens peace moves or abuses human rights.
The president issued an executive order allowing the use of property and asset seizures and immigration and visa bans against government or rebel officials who are judged at a later date to have transgressed.
