OFAC targets two South Sudanese officials

Treasury has reported that its Office of Foreign Assets Control has sanctioned two individuals for expanding or extending the conflict in South Sudan including by obstructing the reconciliation process or peace talks. The designations of Minister of Cabinet Affairs Martin Elia Lomuro and Minister of Defense and Veteran Affairs Kuol Manyang Juuk are intended to target senior leaders in South Sudan that have perpetuated the conflict for their own personal enrichment, leading to much suffering for the South Sudanese people.
