Reuters: Exclusive: South Sudan's government using food as weapon of war - U.N. report
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - South Sudan President Salva Kiir’s government is using food as a weapon of war to target civilians by blocking life-saving aid in some areas, United Nations sanctions monitors told the Security Council in a confidential report seen by Reuters on Friday.
During 2016 and 2017, the U.N. monitors said a military campaign by government troops in the northwestern town of Wau and surrounding areas in Western Bahr el-Ghazal targeted civilians on ethnic grounds and displaced more than 100,000.
“The government has during much of 2017 deliberately prevented life-saving food assistance from reaching some citizens,” the monitors wrote. “These actions amount to using food as a weapon of war with the intent to inflict suffering on civilians the government views as opponents to its agenda.”

Unless Sudan would try to annex South Sudan, maybe we should stay out.
It is not like we can do much else.
If we instigated a coup or assassinated the guy, the Left 50 years later would say "Remember then time that we had a coup against the legit government of waaaa waaa waaaaa!"
We tried to stop the the use of food as a weapon by the Habr Gidr clan in Somalia in 1991/1992 and liberal thugs to this day excoriate us over it. Black Hawk Down! Remember what the liberal thugs did to us!
This is why when George Cloonacy talked about Darfur, people were all tapped out and said "Shut Up and Sit Down"
