US Revokes All Visas for South Sudanese Amid Repatriation Dispute
The United States has announced the revocation of all visas held by South Sudanese nationals, as tensions escalate over the failure of South Sudan to accept repatriated citizens. This decision comes at a time when the country is facing ongoing civil war, raising concerns about the implications for those affected, including individuals such as Duke basketball star Khaman Maluach. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that the visa cancellations serve as a stern warning to nations obstructing US immigration policies. The move is expected to have significant ramifications for South Sudanese citizens hoping to travel or reside in the US.
