UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States proposed on Friday that
the United Nations Security Council blacklist South Sudan opposition
figure Riek Machar, South Sudan army chief Paul Malong and South Sudan
Information Minister Michael Makuei.

The United States circulated the names to the 15-member council a day
after proposing that an arms embargo be imposed on the world's newest
nations. If designated by the council, the men would be subjected to a
global asset freeze and travel ban.
