The United States announced the cancellation of all visas immediately for South Sudan citizens and giving restrictions on further release. This decision, by Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, was involved in the government's helplessness to ensure their citizens' repatriation from the United States.
The political crisis in South Sudan escalated after imprisoning the two ministers and one group of senior military officials associated with the first vice president. These events threatened the fragile peace agreement in 2018, ending the five -year civil war, which declared about 400,000 lives.
The international community, including the Embassy of the United States, Canada, the EU and the United Kingdom, expressed concerns about the escalation of violence in Nile and arbitrary arrests without being charged. Western countries propose their reconciliation to continue the conversation between the parties in conflict.
