US deportations cast spotlight on South Sudan’s deepening political crisis

The US's attempt to deport South Asian migrants to South Sudan has drawn worldwide attention, as the world’s youngest country grapples with renewed political tensions and climate challenges. A court ruled that such deportations without proper due process violate international law, raising concerns about human rights. South Sudan, formed in 2011 after a referendum, faces extreme poverty, widespread insecurity due to conflicts between key figures including vice-president Riek Machar and president Salva Kiir, and climate disasters like flooding displacing hundreds of thousands. The UN warns that the country is on the brink of another civil war.
