South Sudan: Internal US Debate on Arms Embargo

Foreign Policy published on 26 January 2015 an article titled "Mediating Mass Murder: Susan Rice Has Stalled the American Push for an Arms Embargo in South Sudan" by Colum Lynch.  The piece argues that President Obama's National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, is resisting the imposition of an arms embargo on South Sudan while U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, and U.S. ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, favor an embargo.
