South Sudan Delegation Received Poorly in Washington

Foreign Policy posted on 4 October 2018 a report titled "Remember South Sudan? Washington Would Prefer Not To" by Robbie Gramer.

South Sudan is a rare case of the United States midwifing a country into existence, trying to help create a new democracy from scratch. Perhaps nowhere outside South Sudan was there as much optimism about South Sudan's future as in Washington. That optimism crumbled in 2013 following internal political clashes. A recent South Sudan delegation to Washington led by first vice president Taban Deng Gai learned just how much his country has fallen from grace.
