The government of South Sudan has protested the drastic action taken by the US to revoke visas held by its citizens, saying the deportee at the centre of the row, whom Juba denied entry, is Congolese.
Juba has questioned the sweeping visa ban, announced on April 5, which Washington said was prompted by “failure of South Sudan’s Transitional Government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner.”
