South Sudan has reversed its decision and will now allow entry to a man deported from the United States . This reversal aims to defuse a diplomatic row that escalated after South Sudan initially refused entry to the deportee, who the US claimed was a Congolese national , leading to the US revoking all visas issued to South Sudanese passport holders .
The US Secretary of State took the action after South Sudan’s initial refusal to accept the deportee . South Sudan had previously stated that they rejected the deportee because he allegedly possessed fraudulent travel documents . This incident sparked criticism from the U.S., with officials stating that South Sudan failed to meet its obligations regarding repatriation.
South Sudan’s decision to accept the deportee represents a step towards resolving the diplomatic tensions with the United States. The situation highlights the complexities of international deportation policies and the importance of cooperation between nations.
