South Sudan’s ongoing cash crunch has affected its embassy operations in Kenya, with diplomats forced to cut operating hours and shutting down operations for days.

Following the early closure of the embassy this week, Juba denied claims that it was being shut down completely. This followed reports on Tuesday that the embassy had not paid rent for four months.
