WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Monday condemned South Sudan's government and rebels for failing to form a transitional government by Sunday's deadline, calling it "an outrage and an insult to their citizens."

At least 10,000 people have been killed since fierce fighting erupted in South Sudan in December, pitting President Salva Kiir's government forces against supporters of Riek Machar, his former deputy and longtime political rival.
