UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday said the violence in South Sudan that has claimed hundreds of lives in recent days could be spreading to other parts of Africa's youngest country.

"This is a political crisis and urgently needs to be dealt with through political dialogue," he told reporters. "There is a risk of this violence spreading to other states (in South Sudan) as we have already seen some signs of this."
