Global concern is once again shifting to South Sudan, the world's youngest nation.

The flare-up of a long-simmering conflict in the East African country has claimed thousands of lives. It has also displaced some 2.3 million people and pushed around 60,000 children into malnourishment.

International efforts to end the conflict have included aUnited Nations (UN) embargo on arms transfers to the parties to the conflicts, which expires on May 31. UN Security Council members are set to vote on a draft resolution to extend the South Sudan sanctions regime.
