The European Union Friday, imposed sanctions on two South Sudanese military leaders for breaking ceasefire agreement, reports the Reuters.
The EU announced travel bans on South Sudanese rebel leader Peter Gadet, and Military commander of the government army, Santino Deng.
The sanctions were placed due to claims that Gadet had violated the January ceasefire whilst citing human rights abuses during an attack by his militia group in April.
“"Peter Gadet is thus responsible for fueling the cycle of violence, thus obstructing the political process in South Sudan, and for serious human rights violations," the EU said in its official journal.
Santino Deng was charged for a similar violation violation.
"Santino Deng is thus responsible for violations of the 23 January Cessation of Hostilities Agreement," the EU added.
