The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, was suddenly evacuated from South Sudan on Wednesday after looting and violence broke out during a demonstration.

Haley left a U.N. camp in the violence-wracked country after hundreds of protesters opposing President Salva Kiir approached, a spokesperson for the U.S. mission to the United Nations told Fox News on Wednesday.
