US Secretary of State Rubio announced the cancellation of all visas for citizens of South Sudan.

The United States authorities have cancelled previously issued visas to all South Sudanese passport holders, and will now prevent them from obtaining new ones. This was announced on April 5 by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the social network X (Ex. Twitter).

"I am taking measures to cancel all visas issued to South Sudanese passport holders and restrict their further issuance in order to prevent entry into the United States," he said.

According to the official, this decision comes into force immediately. The ban was imposed due to the fact that representatives of the Transitional Government of South Sudan refused to host the returned repatriated citizens.
