Region must do more to pressure South Sudan leaders to end conflict -US diplomat

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - African countries should do more to pile pressure on South Sudan's political leaders, who seem incapable of resolving the country's four-year civil war, a top U.S. diplomat said on Wednesday.

"We think there is more our African colleagues can and should be doing at this point, especially in terms of focussing on leadership, that from our point of view is behaving in a way that is very irresponsible," Tom Shannon, U.S. under-secretary for political affairs at the State Department, told reporters.
