AP journalist deported from South Sudan

Justin Lynch, an Associated Press freelancer, says that he had been deported from South Sudan for being too critical of the government.

He recently reported on the alleged abuses of ethnic violence committed by government troops. The spokesperson for the president said that they were unaware of the incident.

According to AFP global news agency, Mr Lynch was the last foreign reporter living in South Sudan and had been in the country for about a year.

After his deportation, Mr Lynch arrived in Kampala, Uganda's capital, and tweeted the message below.
