The United States has banned the export of weapons to South Sudan and has urged other nations and the UN to adopt a global arms embargo. It is a largely symbolic move, as the US does not export arms to South Sudan. South Sudan's leaders aren't just failing their people, "they are betraying them," Ms Haley said. South Sudan is the world's youngest country, having gained independence in 2011. Restricting arms flows to South Sudan will be hard, says the BBC's Africa editor Mary Harper.
