The Director General of Civil Registry, Nationality, Passports, and Immigration has recalled 42 officers and Non-Commissioned officers from South Sudan foreign missions.

In a letter dated May 29th, addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs undersecretary, Major General Simon Majur announced the recall of immigration personnel assigned to various foreign missions in 2013, 2014, and 2018.
