Since September 2016, the foreign ministry has experienced
difficulties to pay the salaries of its diplomatic staff. This failure
also pushed Juba to suspend the recall of diplomats and attachés
ordered in August 2016.
However, this month the foreign ministry told them to use the salaries
of October and November 2016 that it has just transferred to return
home by the end of April.
Several diplomats wondered how they can return knowing that they have
debts in banks, not paying their rentals for more than five months.
Also, they wondered how they can leave alone children in schools.
However, Foreign Minister Deng Alor Kuol minimised these difficulties
saying the ministry of finance is making arrangements to pay their
salaries so that they can return.
“There is no problem. There was only a challenge in facilitating the
return of the recalled diplomats and attachés that completed the
period of their assignments but this issue has now been resolved,"
Kuol to Sudan Tribune on Thursday.
He went on to say that the delay to facilitate the return of the
recalled diplomats to the headquarters was due to the economic
situation in the country.
He further said those who were recalled had been replaced, adding that
it was a normal administrative procedure to ensure the recalled get
replacement and are given new assignments.
The new assignments are either at the headquarters or a post in other
countries where they can continue to carry out their diplomatic
responsibilities.

This has become the slogans or the language of the day.There
should be accountability for those who are responsible for the pay
roll the HR the human resource management. Instead of individualistic
Payers! Just a correct system will do!

This is the cause of waging war to remain the "president"; the
economy has collapsed; widespread insecurity, mass diaplacement,
deaths, diseases, famine, breakdown in social cohesion,
hatred......The war with the opposition is taking its toll on Kiir’s
government!

Who cares of what is going on there in your organization in Juba?
We are out of that calls but peaceful settlement of SS crisis is
highly needed by all rebels.
U play your all trick there and make sure that there will be no
peace in this country if DR Machar is silenced. So we call
international community to rescue the life of SS’s people who are now
killing by that organization of Dinka in Juba.

This article shows that the ministry doesn’t clearly tell if they
are shutting down their offices abroad. recalling diplomats and
replacing them is not the same as closing the embassies.
How possible to sustain such kind of work when you spend annually
more than $500 million on military hardware yet you don’t win the
war!!!
