'They're bastids': Dutch Minister calls out South Sudan leaders over famine
[SBS] Dutch Minister for International Trade and Development Cooperation Lilianne Ploumen isn’t one for holding back.

"The leaders of South Sudan are bastards who starve their own people," she told Dutch TV station RTL4 this week.

"The people of South Sudan have been abandoned by their leaders, left in the lurch, and they need help desperately," she said.
How is that different from any other third-world, authoritarian shit-hole?
The outspoken politician made the comments during a nationwide campaign which has seen the Dutch government and the public donate tens of millions of euros to UNICEF and Dutch NGOs as they struggle to address four major famines.

UNICEF says that nearly 1.4 million children are at imminent risk of death from starvation in Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen.

While few have stated their views on South Sudan’s leaders in terms as strong as Minister Ploumen, the Dutch politician isn’t alone in blaming South Sudan’s own government.
Of course Juba has summoned the Dutch ambassador demanding an apology.
