China Calls for Immediate End to Conflict in South Sudan

Description

China has called for an end to conflict in South Sudan where fighting has caused thousands of people to flee from their homes and prompted warnings to oil companies to shut down operations. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said China was "gravely concerned" about the situation. Reuters says China is a major investor in South Sudan's oil industry and has played an unusually active diplomatic role there, sending peacekeepers as part of a U.N. mission to protect civilians. Four people were killed this week when two mortar bombs hit a U.N. compound and a site housing civilians in a town near South Sudan's oilfields.
