South Sudan's leaders engage in 'systematic looting' in poor nation: UN
Sep 17, 2025
New York [US], September 17: United Nations investigators have accused South Sudanese authorities of plundering one of the world's youngest and most impoverished nations' wealth of billions of dollars in public funds stolen as the majority of the country deals with a deepening food crisis.
In a report made public on Tuesday, the UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan says authorities allegedly used several schemes to divert significant amounts of money from public revenue since the country's independence in 2011.
"Corruption is killing South Sudanese," it says. (Agencies)
