South Sudan admits difficulty in paying diplomats abroad JUBA (1 Mar.) South Sudan's government has admitted facing difficulties in paying diplomats in its foreign missions, attributing the cause to cash crisis in the country. Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday, Mawien Makol, Spokesman of South Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said diplomats in the diplomatic missions abroad have not been paid for several months due to the country’s economic crisis.“We cannot deny that the country is facing economic challenges, so this made the government unable to pay the salaries and allowances of diplomats in some embassies,” said Makol. The official pointed out that some embassies have gone unpaid for two to three months. However, he said the ministry is trying to resolve the problem but could not say when the diplomats will get their money.Last year, South Sudan decided to cut the number of staff at its embassies around the world due to economic troubles stemming from the ongoing civil war. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
