The United States imposed sanctions on two military officers on opposite sides of the ethnic violence in South Sudan on Thursday in a demonstration of U.S. frustration that fighting has continued despite two ceasefires. Treasury Department announced sanctions on James Koang Chuol, who defected from South Sudan's army, the Sudan People's Liberation Army, to join the rebel forces, and Santino Deng Wol, an SPLA major general.
