ABC News: Nikki Haley evacuated from South Sudan camp after protesters descend
Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, was rushed away from a U.N. camp in South Sudan today when people protesting South Sudan's president descended on the event she was attending, a U.S. official told ABC News.
Haley was meeting with civilians affected by the conflict in South Sudan at a "protection of civilians center" run by the U.N. when a group of around 100 people demonstrating against President Salva Kiir came nearby, the official said.
Haley's security team determined it was not safe and escorted her out, cutting the event short, according to the official, who did not believe the protesters made contact with Haley.
