Juba, May 9 South Sudan has announced that it will waive visa fees for foreign nationals fleeing the violence in neighbouring Sudan.Atem Marol Biar, director general at the Directorate of Civil Registry, Nationality, Passport, and Immigration, has directed immigration officers at all border-crossing points with Sudan not to charge visa fees to foreigners, reports Xinhua news agency."On the issue of people coming from Sudan, we have clear directives and that is also international law. Once people are coming while running away from conflict they have to be received well. I have directed officials to receive them without asking for visa payment," Biar told journalists here.He said that foreigners who opt to stay in the country as refugees will be registered by authorities with support from humanitarian agencies."What we are doing is a plan. We need to be very careful. Juba is not a refugee camp. When you want somebody to stay on transit there is no problem. You have to indicate the days for staying while you make arrangements," Biar said.He said most foreign nationals fleeing the conflict in Sudan are being hosted in Renk County and Paloch areas of Upper Nile State.Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management Albino Akol Atak said South Sudan has received more than 50,000 people who crossed into the country since conflict erupted on April 15 between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.The UN Refugee Agency has warned of a deepening humanitarian crisis, due to the unexpected influx of people into South Sudan, which is already hosting 2.2 million internally displaced people.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
