EU sanctions two South Sudanese military leaders for breaking ceasefire agreements

The European Union has imposed sanctions on two South Sudanese military leaders for breaking ceasefire agreements.  

It accused rebel leader Peter Gadet and army commander Santino Deng of links to atrocities over the past six months. 

Both men are ethnic Nuers and are subject to a travel ban and asset freeze.  

They are accused  of fuelling the cycle of violence, thus obstructing the political process in South Sudan, and for serious human rights violations.
