June 4, 2014 (JUBA) – South Sudan government must “immediately” issue suspension on all new contracts in its oil industry, the campaign group, Global Witness said Wednesday.

The moratorium calls come in the wake of peace talks between the country’s warring parties, which was due to start in the Ethiopian capital this week, but has faced further delays.

But Global Witness said South Sudan’s leaders must suspend the process of issuing new oil deals and halt any oil negotiations as world leaders struggle to find a solution to the current crisis.
