CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Stephen Ameyu Martin Mulla of Juba, South Sudan’s capital, condemned a senior military leader’s call to “spare no one,” including “children, the elderly, and civilians,” in an offensive against rebel-held territory.
“Directing forces to ‘spare no lives’ is a direct call to genocide,” said Cardinal Ameyu. “We call on all the fighting forces not to heed any directive that risks victimizing innocent civilians and pitting communities against each other.”
