The German air force started evacuating their own citizens, as well as those from several other countries, from South Sudan yesterday.

Germany is evacuating people from the capital Juba due to the recent increase in violence in the world’s youngest country.

A military plane arrived at Juba’s airport to evacuate citizens trapped in the city, including Germans. Passports belonging to Spanish and Maltese people were also seen in a box of documents being processed by the German embassy officials in Juba.
