U.S. Orders Non-Emergency Personnel to Leave South Sudan Amid Rising Tensions
The United States has mandated the departure of all non-emergency government personnel from South Sudan, reflecting growing concerns over escalating violence in the region. This decision, announced by the U.S. State Department, comes amid reports of intensified fighting and unrest, particularly in the Nasir area, where South Sudan's National Security has vowed to conduct more arrests in response to recent disturbances.
The move follows a series of troubling developments in South Sudan, where tensions have been on the rise, threatening to plunge the country into renewed full-blown conflict. The U.S. Embassy in Juba has urged American citizens to reconsider travel to South Sudan and to take necessary precautions if already in the country.
Analysts from the International Crisis Group have warned that South Sudan stands on the precipice of another major war, citing the failure of peace agreements and ongoing political and ethnic strife. The situation in Nasir, which saw significant unrest, is just one of many hotspots contributing to the volatile environment.
