 South Sudan calls US visa revocation unfair, cites mistaken identity


South Sudan has criticized the revocation of U.S. visas for all its nationals as unfair and said it was based on an incident that didn't involve one of its citizens but another African national, AP reported.


U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday that the decision to revoke all visas for South Sudanese came because the country’s government failed to accept the return of its citizens being removed from the United States “promptly.”


South Sudan's Foreign Ministry said in a statement Monday that the deportee who was denied U.S. entry on Friday was found to be a Congolese national. He was returned to the U.S., and all supporting evidence was shared with American officials.


“The government deeply regrets that despite this history of collaboration and partnership, South Sudan now faces a broad revocation of visas based on an isolated incident involving misrepresentation by an individual who is not a South Sudanese national,” the statement said.


South Sudan’s Information Minister Michael Makuei Lueth told The Associated Press on Monday that the U.S was “attempting to find faults with the tense situation” in the country because no sovereign nation would accept foreign deportees.


The U.N. in March warned that South Sudan was teetering on the edge of renewed civil war. The country’s vice president and prominent opposition leader, Riek Machar remains under house arrest on charges of incitement after an armed group allied to him overrun an army camp and attacked a U.N. helicopter.


It was not immediately clear how many South Sudanese hold U.S. visas. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said on social media that the dispute centers on one person, certified by South Sudan’s Embassy in Washington, that Juba has refused to accept. That person was not named.


No new visas will be issued, the U.S. said, and “we will be prepared to review these actions when South Sudan is in full cooperation.”
