JUBA – South Sudan army commander General Moses Lokujo who was sanctioned last week by the European Union has said that he is not bothered by the continental bloc’s sanctions saying ‘I don’t have business’ in the EU countries.

Last week, the EU imposed sanctions on General Lokujo for responsibility kn violations of human rights and ceasefire violations in September last year following his assault on opposition peace forces at a cantonment site in South Sudan’s Central Equatoria state.

Speaking to Sudans Post this afternoon in an interview, Lokujo who is currently in Juba said he did nothing wrong to warrant sanctions saying he was attacked by Machar who he said was abandoned by forces following his defection.

“In human rights, self-defense is a fundamental right even if it let to something bad for the person who is attacking. Riek attacked me and so I decided to defend myself,” the former opposition commander said. “Why would the EU be sad that I defended myself, so the want me to die?”

The senior army commander further added: “Riek actually had no forces and because of this, he got some support I think from people who are not part of the revitalized peace agreement and who are working against the very peace we are implementing.”

Asked if the sanctions imposed by the EU will affect him in anyway, General Lokujo said he “don’t have any business in the EU countries and never had the intention to travel there because I love my country and I don’t have bank account anywhere.”
