DFAT suggests Australians who feel unsafe leave Juba

The Department of Foreign Affairs says any Australians caught up by the violence in South Sudan should leave if they feel unsafe.

An Australian-South Sudanese man in Juba is accusing the Australian government of not doing enough to help its citizens stranded in the country.

Brisbane man Daniel John Barak had travelled to Juba to visit family over the festive period.

Mr Barak says the United States has begun evacuating its citizens from the capital via US Airforce planes, but the Australian government has not offered similar assistance.

But a spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs, Justin Brown, has told Kristina Kukolja any Australians in Juba should leave if they feel unsafe.
