Each time I visit, I am always struck by their enduring hope for the future of their nation and by how hard they are willing to work in order to make peace a reality.   That's why it's been especially heart-breaking in recent weeks to see South Sudan slide further from peace, toward instability and conflict. I'm writing today to ask you to join with me in pushing our leaders in the US to step up and establish a comprehensive arms embargo on South Sudan – giving the people of South Sudan a real chance at building peace. Take action now. The last three years have not been easy for South Sudan. A civil war that started in 2013 has seen tens of thousands of people killed and more than 2.5 million displaced – about 20 percent of the population. Both sides have used weapons of war including artiller
