UN urges South Sudan to accept more peacekeepers

by

Diplomats from the UN Security Council are in South Sudan to urge the government to accept more peacekeepers.

Fighting resumed in July between forces supporting President Salva Kiir and those loyal to former vice president Riek Machar.

The violence has killed hundreds and threatened a fragile truce.
