(Bloomberg) -- South Sudan will close some of its embassies abroad as the war-torn country seeks to trim government costs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Mawien Makol Ariik said.
Most of the land-locked East African nation's revenue comes from oil sales, which have been hampered by a decline in prices and an uprising in neighboring Sudan where its exports are shipped from.
Ariik said didn't say how many embassies would be shut.
