South Sudan won't expel foreign workers: minister

NAIROBI, KENYA: The Government of South Sudan Wednesday said it will not be expelling foreign workers, reversing a policy announcement made the previous day that stoked protests from aid agencies and neighbouring countries.

“We would like to make a clear statement that there is no statement in the Republic of South Sudan saying that they are expelling foreign workers in this country,” Foreign minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin was quoted by AFP telling reporters Wednesday.
