UN Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon has expressed serious concerns about the ongoing
violence in South Sudan, saying the African country stands “on
the brink of an abyss.”
Addressing a
UN Security Council session on Thursday, Ban said “the promises
of the new state for peace, justice and opportunity have been
squandered” in South Sudan.
Ban also
said he was “appalled by the scale of sexual violence”
after UN rights officials reported at least 120 cases of rape across
the capital, Juba, over the past three weeks.
