Mar 27th 2018 (Nyamilepedia) – President Donald Trump of the United States of America (USA) Tuesday extended the national emergency on South order accutane no rx Sudan for another year, citing continuous threat being posed by South Sudan to the United States.

In April 2014, former United States President, Barrack Obama first declared the emergency against South Sudan just four months after South Sudan descended into civil war. Since then, the emergency has remained in place being renewed each year.

“On April 3, 2014, by Executive Order 13664, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C 1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the situation in and in relation to South Sudan, which has been marked by activities that threaten the peace, security, or stability of South Sudan and the surrounding region, including widespread violence and atrocities, human rights abuses, recruitment and use of child soldiers, attacks on peacekeepers and humanitarian aid workers, and obstruction of humanitarian operations,” reads the statement signed by the U.S President Donald J. Trump.

“The situation in and in relation to South Sudan continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.  For this reason, the national emergency declared on April 3, 2014, to deal with that threat must continue in effect beyond April 3, 2018.” Added the statement.

The president declared in the statement “Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13664.”

Tens of thousands of people have been killed and nearly half of South Sudan’s 12 million population displaced.

Dear ones, Yes, it may very well be encouraging that you are paying attention to South Sudan matter. Not much that you leave the concern that your administration is facing only that you make a necessary decision on the other nations that are worse in term of security. Leadership is not a easy task though I am not of any position but I do understand it perfectly how it is ran. Otherwise I wouldn’t try to voice my voice in that if my understanding is not concrete. It may very well be that the channel you are using may correct the situation as other partners in the lead are trying their best. This wouldn’t come to rest until collective effort is made. I know there are some stuff happening but they shouldn’t silence you of making a decision inside or outside of your country. I know many countries are trying their best and I am grateful for that and not appreciative to the one that is silence on matter whoever would pretend that he/she is for human right goes out of my ears. Whatever the adjustment they may have said is out of believe. If anyone in lead cannot make any decision with the crisis like this regardless the origin who are you trying to deceive when you make a remark concerning human right abuse around world which you claim to be one on watch.
