JOHANNESBURG- The United States, India and other countries continue to evacuate their citizens from South Sudan, where a fragile cease-fire appears to hold amid fears of a return to civil war.

 

India's External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj announced Thursday morning that two aircraft had landed in the capital, Juba, for evacuations.

 

The US Embassy has said it was arranging flights out of the country for Americans on Thursday.
