South Sudan oil used as political weapon, expert warns

Original: South Sudan oil is being used as a political weapon, expert says

An expert says South Sudan's oil wealth is being used as a political weapon, according to reporting by Radio Tamazuj. The claim points to control over the country's main source of revenue being leveraged for political ends rather than public benefit. Oil accounts for the vast majority of South Sudan's income, making control over it a central prize in the country's power struggles.

Why now: Ongoing political tensions in South Sudan renew scrutiny of how oil revenues are controlled and weaponised.
