Yes, impose sanctions on South Sudan leaders

While trade and bilateral talks informed much of the discussions President Uhuru Kenyatta had with visiting South African President Jacob Zuma, something unusual happened at a media briefing on Wednesday.

A reporter’s question to the two Presidents on whether they were willing to go the extra mile and impose sanctions on the families and associates of President Salva Kiir and his former estranged Vice President Riek Machar if only to ensure there was peace in South Sudan was brushed aside.
