"We’re closely monitoring and deeply disturbed by the ongoing violence
in South Sudan and in the Congo," Trump told African leaders on the
sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
"Millions of lives are at risk and we continue to provide humanitarian
assistance, but real results in halting this catastrophe will require
an African-led peace process and a sincere commitment of all parties
involved,” he added.
South Sudan has experienced a civil war since mid-December 2013. The
conflict has killed tens of thousands and displaced over 2 million.
The UN envoy, President Trump further said, would "discuss avenues of
conflict and resolution and most importantly, prevention."
On Tuesday, however, the Donald Trump administration extended
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for the nationals of South Sudan, but
said it will end the designation for citizens from Sudan in 2018.
The U.S. decision comes three weeks before a decision by the Trump
administration on the permanent lift of U.S. sanctions on Sudan on 12
October.
