Ban calls for end to crisis in South Sudan

United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on the South Sudanese government, as well as the opposition party, to find a “political way out” of the security crisis there.

In a speech delivered before the start of his joint press conference with Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario, Ban called for an end to the “deteriorating security situation” in South Sudan, which has declared its independence from Sudan in July 2012.
