John Prendergast Speaks on Famine in South Sudan

Posted by Enough Team on March 22, 2017

Enough Project's Founding Director John Prendergast spoke to Channel 4 ITN News in the UK this week about the devastating famine in South Sudan.

In the interview, Prendergast noted that the kleptocratic governing system in South Sudan has left the majority of the people in the country completely immiserated. He called for targeted sanctions and financial pressures on South Sudan's leaders who've stolen billions from the country and said, "If the United States, UK, and the EU lead in creating financial pressures we can convince those leaders that it is in their interest to make peace."
