US Calls for Stable, Open South Sudan Government

The United States is concerned about possible instability in South Sudan after President Salva Kiir Mayardit dismissed his entire cabinet, an assistant to President Barack Obama said Thursday. “The concern that we have is the prospect of instability,” Grant T. Harris, special assistant to the president for Africa affairs, told VOA’s 'Africa 54' program. “The concern is also the need for a government that’s advancing the development and peace and security issues that the country desperately needs.”
