PBS Newshour: South Sudan leader denies getting rich off civil war
South Sudan’s president on Saturday condemned a human rights group report that alleges he and other top members of the government have profited from the country’s three-year civil war that has killed thousands of citizens.
The group, The Sentry, which was co-founded by actor George Clooney, accused South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir of enriching himself and several members of the military and government. His rival, Riek Machar, the former deputy president, was also implicated in the report, which was released earlier this week after a two-year investigation. Both denied the charges.
