South Sudan presents Protest note to France over Ambassador's Remarks on Human Rights

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a protest note against remarks made by the French ambassador to South Sudan, during celebrations to mark Bastile day.

On Saturday, Ambassador Jean-Yves Roux cited a UN report detailing horrific human rights violations against civilians by the SPLA and allied forces, and recommended that those responsible for that barbary "can be, and must be, caught, judged, and punished."

But the Foreign affairs Ministry has described the ambassadors statement as undiplomatic.
