JUBA, Feb 5 — Hundreds of South Sudanese politicians have been kicked out of hotels where they have been staying during the country’s peace process, over some US$50 million in unpaid bills, a hotel association said late yesterday.
South Sudan plunged into war in 2013, and after several failed peace deals, signed a new agreement in September 2018 which led to the formation of a unity government in February last year, which remains fragile. Hotel owners, already faced with the depreciating South Sudanese pound, say they can no longer afford to pay their suppliers due to the mounting debt.
One of the delegates, thrown out of the hotel who spoke on condition of anonymity told AFP the situation was embarassing.
