US revokes all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders over failure to 'accept return of citizens'

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday said that the United States has decided to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders, as he accused the African nation's government of "taking advantage of the United States". In a statement, Rubio said, "Every country must accept the return of its citizens in a timely manner when another country, including the United States, seeks to remove them." The USA's top diplomat added that South Sudan's transitional government "has failed to fully respect this principle".
