The US government has announced that it will revoke all visas of South Sudanese passport holders because the country will not accept deported citizens back to the country.
On April 5, the US government announced that it would revoke all visas of South Sudanese passport holders because the country would not accept deported citizens back to the country.
In a statement, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio affirmed that this step is effective immediately and "the US Department of State will take measures to revoke all visas of South Sudanese passport holders and prevent the issuance of new visas to prevent South Sudanese passport holders from entering the United States".
Mr. Rubio said that South Sudan had failed to respect the principle that each country must promptly receive its citizens when another country, including the United States, requests their deportation.
Accordingly, the US will only reconsider revoking visas when South Sudan fully cooperates in receiving deported citizens.
