Political rivalry between Salva Kiir, South Sudan’s president, an ethnic Dinka, and his former deputy, Riek Machar, a Nuer, led to civil war in 2013 that has often followed ethnic lines. The pair signed a shaky peace deal last year but fighting has continued. Machar fled the country in July.

“Reports suggest that President Salva Kiir and his loyalists are contemplating a new military offensive in the coming days against the [Machar-allied opposition troops],” Ban said. “Moreover, there are clear indications that Riek Machar and other opposition groups are pursuing a military escalation.”

The US has been struggling to secure the minimum number of votes needed for the security council to impose an arms embargo on South Sudan. In order to be adopted, a resolution needs nine votes in favour and no vetoes.

Diplomats have said that so far only seven members were in favour, with the remaining eight planning to abstain or vote no. While Russia and China, two of the five security council members with veto power, are skeptical of whether an arms embargo would achieve much in a country awash with weapons, diplomats did not expect them to block the measure.

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds 54 percent of adults saying that they are either uncertain (25 percent) or pessimistic and worried (29 percent) about how Trump will perform during his presidency, compared with 45 percent with either an optimistic and confident view (22 percent) or a satisfied and hopeful view (23 percent).

That's a significantly worse outlook than Americans expressed after the elections of both Barack Obama and George W. Bush. A combined 66 percent were either optimistic or hopeful about Obama in January 2009, according to the same poll, while 59 percent were optimistic or hopeful about George W. Bush in January 2001.

a lot of them won't care but I do think Trump will be as or less popular than W. a lot of people who voted for him will be hesitant to admit it in a few years.
