Panel of UN specialists suggests Security Council to maintain arms embargo on South Sudan due to unrest there as millions remain displaced and in need of humanitarian assistance
South Sudan has been wracked by instability since independence in 2011 and is still struggling to draw a line under the devastating civil war.
The Panel of Experts on South Sudan recommended, in a 77-page report to the UN Security Council, that the embargo be maintained because of the continuing unrest there.
