The U.N. Security Council has warned it is ready to consider “appropriate measures” against warring parties in South Sudan if they do not stop the violence and negotiate a transitional government.

South Sudan has been in political turmoil since President Salva Kiir sacked his deputy Riek Machar last year, triggering a conflict that reopened deep ethnic tensions in the world’s youngest country, which only won independence from Sudan in 2011.

Kiir comes from the dominant Dinka ethnic group, while Machar, now a rebel leader, is from another major tribe, the Nuer.
