TVC NEWS ( SOUTH SUDAN ) : UN experts say warring parties in South Sudan are expanding stockpiles of weapons and ammunition in violation of an August peace deal.
The experts also warned that President Salva Kiir risks fueling violence with plans to almost triple the number of states in the country.
In a report to the UN Security Council on Wednesday, the experts said they were examining the flow of arms into South Sudan and had "credible, independent" reports, that both the government and opposition were boosting their supplies.
The war began in December 2013 when President Salva Kiir accused his former deputy Riek Machar of planning a coup, setting off a cycle of retaliatory killings across the country that has split the impoverished landlocked nation along ethnic lines.
No fewer than seven ceasefires have been agreed and broken in the past.
