Nairobi — One of the four Kenyans brutally killed in South Sudan last month reluctantly went back to the country after a fruitless job hunt in Kenya. After a frustrating job search, he secured a teaching job in Pebor, 340 kilometres north east of Juba, through GREDO, an NGO contracted by UNICEF. "He had talked to one of our brothers when he arrived in Juba and was due to travel to Pebor," says Mbugua. The United States issued a travel and stay warning to Americans in South Sudan early January. All U.S. citizens in South Sudan should have evacuation plans that do not rely on U.S. government assistance, and should carry medical evacuation insurance," states the advisory posted by the US Bureau of Consular Affairs.
