Canada pulls diplomatic staff from South Sudan over concerns for their safety

The Canadian Press - 7 hrs ago

OTTAWA - The Canadian government is pulling all its diplomats and
staff out of South Sudan over concerns for their safety.

Lynne Yelich, a Conservative minister of state, said in a release
Friday that operations at Canada's office in Juba have been
temporarily suspended and all staff moved to the Canadian high
commission in Nairobi, Kenya.

"Due to operational challenges, including the unpredictable security
environment in Juba," the government has temporarily closed the
office, Yelich said.

The Canadian exodus comes as the South Sudanese government agreed
Friday to end hostilities following a failed coup that has sparked
escalating internal violence across the world's newest country since
mid-December.

More than 120,000 people have been displaced by the fighting, which
involves warring factions of the country's military.

While East African leaders meeting in Kenya hailed South Sudan's
announcement of a ceasefire, the alleged renegade leader of the
attempted coup remains a fugitive and was not party to the deal.

In a speech at the Nairobi summit, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta
noted there is "a very small window of opportunity to secure peace" in
South Sudan.

South Sudan peacefully broke away from Sudan in 2011 after decades of
a brutal war of independence fought against Sudan.

The young country has been plagued by corruption, ethnic tension, and
a power struggle within the ruling party that pits President Salva
Kiir against former vice-president Riek Machar.

What's with all these African rebel armies all over parts of Africa,
like, is it some kind of career for a bunch of losers that cannot
educate themselves and make a better life for themselves and their
families ? Wish Sudanese people all the best of luck breaking free
from all these crazies warmongers a near future.

I would like Canada to cancel all foreign aid to Afghanistan,
Pakistan, India, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Gaza, Palestine and every
other nation in Africa. What a waste of my money.

Canada should have nothing to do with the middle east and africa, no
funds, no aid, no embassy, and absolutely refugees!

No, kill or be killed ! A promise of a regular meal ,we are the good
guys they are infidels ! By the way can you drive and what is your
jacket size ?

Canada should not have any consulates or embassies in areas like this.
We have no interests there; we have no business there; and the place
is a sewer. Save some tax dollars and use Skype to this entire region.
And get the heck out of Afghanistan too.
