South Sudanese Leaders Begin Fresh Peace Talks

Warring parties in South Sudan's civil conflict are beginning peace talks in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.

It comes as the United Nations is warning of a worsening humanitarian crisis in which one in three South Sudanese have fled their homes. 

The United States last week announced an arms embargo on South Sudan, though most weapons are sourced from other countries. 

Brian Adeba from the Enough Project says he hopes it will be followed up by comprehensive financial sanctions on leaders.

DUR: 16"


But Brian Adeba from the Enough Project says the U.S. should consider sustained financial sanctions.

IN: There needs to be..
OUT: ...this conflict. 
DUR: 18"
