China is the latest foreign government to call on South Sudan to end the conflict between the government and rebel troops. Chinese firms are responsible for a large majority of South Sudan’s crude production and the latest violence has slowed down their production.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said China was “gravely concerned” about the situation.
“We call on the parties in South Sudan to use the fundamental and long-term interests of the people of South Sudan as a starting point, immediately stop military conflict to ensure the safety of South Sudan’s foreign workers and personnel working for the U.N., humanitarian and aid agencies,” Hong said at a regular news briefing.
Four people were killed this week when two mortar bombs hit a U.N. compound and another site.
The violence ignited last year following President Salva Kiir’s firing of his vice president Riek Machar. Machar was accused of plotting a coup against Kiir.
