Feds advise Canadians in South Sudan to leave immediately

The federal government is advising Canadians in South Sudan to leave immediately amid violence that has killed hundreds of people.

Foreign Affairs issued an advisory Saturday evening saying Canadians in the African country should leave and is advising Canadians not to travel there.

“You are urged to leave now by commercial means, as it may become increasingly difficult to do so if the situation deteriorates further,” an advisory on the Foreign Affairs website says.
