HALEY EVACUATED FROM VOLATILE REFUGEE CAMP

- Staff and wire reports

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, was evacuated Wednesday from a U.N. camp for displaced people in South Sudan because of a demonstrat­ion against President Salva Kiir, witnesses said.

Shortly after Haley left the camp, U.N. security guards fired tear gas to disperse the crowd of more than 100 residents who looted and destroyed the office of a charity operating there, an aid worker at the camp said.

Haley met earlier with Kiir over the country’s long civil war. Haley said she warned Kiir that the U.S. no longer trusted South Sudan’s government and was no longer prepared to wait for change. She did not give details.
