A U.S. financier, Robert Granieri, co-founder of the trading firm Jane Street Group, has reportedly been deceived into funding the purchase of arms intended for a coup in South Sudan. The incident highlights the complex and often murky world of international arms dealing and its potential impact on regional stability.
The Sudanese government has expressed concern over the situation and is working closely with international partners to ensure such activities do not destabilize the region. Authorities are also emphasizing their commitment to maintaining peace and security in both South Sudan and Sudan.
Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called for increased international cooperation to prevent the illegal flow of weapons and to support peace efforts in the region.
