JUBA – South Sudan government on Thursday slammed Ghana for voting in favor of a US-drafted United Nations Security Council resolution renewing arms embargo and targeted sanctions on the world’s youngest country.

The UN Security Council in 2018 imposed arms embargo South Sudan as well as targeted sanctions against individuals believed to be fueling the violence in the country and those impeding the realization of peace.

The UN Security Council has since been renewing the arms embargo and sanctions as a panel of experts tasked with monitoring the situation in South Sudan has been suggesting continuation of the international measures against South Sudan.

On Thursday, the Security Council voted narrowly to renew the sanctions citing lack of will from the parties to implement the agreement and escalating violence across many parts of the country.

Ghana, one of the two African countries available at the voting, supported the resolution with Kenya, the other African country, abstaining along Russia, China and India.

The vote by Ghana angered the government in Juba which said that it is disappointed by the position taken by the “West African country.

That some countries would dismiss the African Union’s stance on this matter shows an old hubris with no value for a world shaken by wars, including in Africa and Europe. When the African Union rejected the US-sponsored sanctions and arms embargo on South Sudan, Ghana was its chair,” the ministry of foreign affairs in Juba said.

“That our brotherly country, whom we look to as an anchor of Pan-Africanism, should vote against the African Union position disappoints us. We, nonetheless, have confidence that the Ghanaian Government will revisit its position,” the statement added.

    ‘South Sudan slams ‘brotherly’ Ghana for voting in favor of arms embargo’
    to be bombed to ‘abac/naught/nil/nothing//nought/zilch/zero out of our country and over our people, once and for all, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
    * Bantuses* are not our equals, not in the slightest, we don’t consider them [Bantuses] anything let alone their masters: white Americans, Europeans, their evil Juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their gulf Arab states terrorists & financiers; Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Sri Linkans, Dutch, Portuguese, Italians, Irish, gays, lesbians or LGBTQs.

    Ghana, who gives a damn about slaves?.

    We share Africa with them (Bantuses) only, but they are not our equals. We don’t consider them anything—–I repeat again, we don’t even marry their ‘daughter’ simply because, they are pieces of shits, Bantuses are ugly, with a lot hair in their bodies. They are always juxtapose with our country and our people——‘the Jaangs/Jiengs/Jenges/Jongkoths/Dinkas’ of the Sudan and Egypt, by *the devil worshipers, bloodsucking vampires, secret societies or cabals, vermins/parasites/viruses/pests. Who covet our country and our people to death, and who even called ‘our country and our people, ‘their energy and their countries national security interests and foreign policy’

    *And that we can live sides by sides in our Nile valleys and plains, with them, our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, Bantuses, white Americans, English people, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their gulf Arab states, financiers and terror exporters, their United nations mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) mercenaries of Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, Rwandans, Abeshas (so-called ethiopian) prostitutes pieces of shits (UNISFA), Portuguese, Dutch, Italians, Irish like in Southern Africa (Cecil Rhode, Rhodesia or Bantustan countries ) of South Africa, Namibia (our ally, same her with us, here in South Sudan), Zimbabwe (our Bantus best ally—white farmers are going to be destroyed out of Africa), Lesotho, Botswana, Angola, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, there are no white rubbishes in Tanzania—–only pieces of sewers in ‘Zanzibar’. They are going to be WIPED OUT MAP, The Island, has been taken by the owners, us. Mwalimu (Teacher) Jules Nyerere, gave these sewers credence in our East Africa and Southern Africa, credence by ‘uniting these wretches with mainland Tanganyika, and got away with it’.>>>>
