On Saturday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the immediate revocation of all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders. This decision arises from the South Sudan transitional government's inability to promptly accept the return of its repatriated citizens. Rubio emphasized that this action aims to restrict further visa issuance to South Sudanese individuals, highlighting a significant diplomatic response to ongoing issues regarding repatriation and governance in South Sudan. The announcement reflects the US government's continued focus on accountability and governance in foreign policy.
I am taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and to restrict any further issuance to prevent entry into the United States, effective immediately, due to the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner.
