South Sudan's Ambassador Meets With Parents of Slain Journalist

Ayen Bior

   The parents of Christopher Allen, a freelance journalist killed two
   years ago while covering fighting between government and rebel forces
   in South Sudan, met with the country's ambassador to the United States
   on Monday.

   The meeting in South Sudan's Washington Embassy was the first time the
   family has spoken to any South Sudanese official, despite having
   written letters to President Salva Kiir and the former foreign
   minister.

   John Allen and Joyce Krajian, the British-American journalist's
   parents, brought a letter to the embassy addressed to South Sudan's
   ambassador, Philip Jada Natana.
