None
COPENHAGEN- South Sudan has expelled the country director of the Norwegian Refugee Council, the aid group announced Friday.
The group's secretary-general, Jan Egeland, gave no details in a statement but called the expulsion of Victor Moses "a serious setback to our humanitarian work" in the East African country where civil war erupted three years ago.
Earlier Friday, NRC spokeswoman Tuva Bognes told The Associated Press that a staffer had been detained by South Sudan's National Security Service after its officials came to the aid group's offices in the capital, Juba, on Thursday.
Bognes said the NRC had no idea why their colleague had been taken away.
