London—US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged the newly independent South Sudan to avoid succumbing to the “resource curse” that has hit other African nations. In a speech late December 14 in Washington, Clinton said the challenges the oilrich country faces are “formidable.” Addressing South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir, she said transparency and accountability are key in managing the country’s “abundant natural resources.”
