South Sudan said it would now allow a person deported from the US into a dramatic downward climb aimed at disposing a visa between the two countries.
On Saturday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the US will cancel us visas for all South SudanS He said it was a response to South Sudan's refusal to accept the return of its citizens who were removed from the United States.
In its original reaction, the South Sudan Foreign Ministry said that this move was based on a case associated with someone who was identified incorrectly as South Sudan and sent back as a result.
Now the government says it will allow the person to enter the country “in the spirit of friendly relations.”
He adds that the deported man, identified as by the Democratic Republic of Congo, could arrive in the capital, Juba on Wednesday.
“As a result of this decision, the government has instructed the relevant bodies of Juba International Airport to facilitate arrival (his),” the statement of South Sudan's appearance said in a statement on Tuesday.
Referring to other possible removal, the ministry said the country was committed to supporting the return of its “verified citizens”, which were scheduled for deportation from the United States.
Moving the US over the weekend was the first time the United States was heading for all passport holders from a particular country since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January, campaigning an anti -migration platform with the promise of “mass deportations”.
In its statement on Saturday, Rubio said the United States would also block all arriving citizens of South Sudan, the largest country in the world, in the ports of entry into the United States.
He accused “the failure of the transitional government of South Sudan to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner.”
“We will be ready to review these actions when South Sudan is in full cooperation,” he added.
But in a statement on Monday, South Sudan Foreign Ministry said it “deeply regrets” about the blankets against all citizens of the country based on an “isolated incident involving a misconception by a person who is not a citizen of South Sudan.”
It says that the man at the center of the visa order is a Congoan citizen and he is returned to the United States. He added that all supporting evidence is shared with US officials.
But Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau Rejected South Sudan's explanation as “legally no matter”Saying that the African Embassy in Washington “certified that particular individual as one of their citizens.”
“It is unacceptable and irresponsible for government officials in South Sudan to guess for the second determination of their own embassy,” Landau added.
South Sudan's Minister of Information Michael Macue Loute told the AP news agency that the US is “trying to find mistakes in the tense situation” in the country, as no sovereign nation will accept foreign deported.
This order comes when fears are growing that South Sudan can again descend into a civil war after the country's first Vice President Riek Mayor was placed under house arrest.
South Sudan President Salva Kiir accused Machar of breaking a new uprising.
Last month, the United States ordered all its employees not to be in South Sudan, to leave, as in a part of the country there was battles, threatening the fragile peaceful deal, agreed in 2018, which put an end to a five -year civil war.
Earlier in South Sudan, the United States received a temporary protective status (TPS), which allowed them to stay in the United States for a period of time.
TPS for South Sudan in the US had to expire by May 3.
