South Sudan has given a two-week ultimatum to illegal migrants to register and meet legal requirements to stay and do business in the country.
The Director-General of Immigration, Lt Gen Atem Marol Biar, says 85% of Ugandan nationals who are residing in South Sudan entered the country without legal documents and they have not obtained work permits either.
Sources from the Business Union revealed that more than one million Ugandans are residing in South Sudan.
It says most of them are involved in the construction sector as well as in the retail sector.
