Key issues – regulations, capitalization, skills, diversification, inclusion . The way forward “The road is under construction” Main Messages & History/perspectives . The history of financial institutions in South Sudan is a short one. Throughout Khartoum rule till the end of civil war in 2005, there were very few commercial banks concentrated in Juba, Wau and Malakal. South Sudanese were deliberately excluded from the economic system. As a result 90% of the population in South Sudan were not exposed to banking services . Access to finance was limited to Northern traders operating in Southern Sudan. In February 2008, Islamic banks left the South since the Bank of Southern Sudan(BOSS) introduced conventional banking . However, after the CPA the Bank of Southern Sudan, although a mere branch of the central bank of Sudan took a bold step by licensing local and expatriate banks that took interest to invest in South Sudan. South Sudan needs a stable, well diversified financial sector providing the right kinds of products and services with a level of intermediation and inclusion to support the country’s ambitions Current State of the Sector As of November 2013 . 28 Commercial Banks are now operating in South Sudan and more than 70 applications on the pipeline . 10 Micro Finance Institutions . 86 Forex Bureaus . A handful of Insurance companies Current state of the Sector (2) .

The independence of South Sudan has been revealed in this study to have a mixture of unanswered questions. The study is grounded on Collier- Hoeffer theory analysed the trans-boundary conflict based on the framework of many variable including: identities, economics, religion and social status in the Nile basin.

    PRESS RELEASE Marina Modi Public &Media relations Officer [email protected] 0955950026 #defyhatenow: Mobilizing Civic Action against Hate Speech and Directed Social Media Incitement to Violence in South Sudan. Juba, 03 November 2017 #DEFYHATENOW WIKIPEDIA WORKSHOP #defyhatenow initiative will be training students from the University of Juba on writing and feeding /editing information about South Sudan on Wikipedia,the online global encyclopedia from 6- 9 November 2017. Objectives; 1. Empowering South Sudanese to have a global voice in national narratives and knowledge in the quest for lasting peace. 2. Generating more knowledge about other people-to-people peace-building issues. 3. Initiate a sustainable movement of South Sudanese Wikipedia writers/editors. Why Wikipedia? South Sudan is underrepresented at Wikipedia, the world's largest online encyclopedia. There are hardly 1.500 articles about South Sudanese subjects and most of them are just stubs, since even entries about many major towns and states only feature a couple of lines. While Wikipedia is one of the most used and visited websites, next to no content about South Sudan has been generated inside the country itself. Instead, most information about South Sudan has been created by outsiders. With regard to internal peace-making, #defyhatenow will be working with the student run #kefkum initiative to collaboratively edit, starting with a critical review of Wunlit conference and then create a comprehensive article on Wikipedia. As a pilot example, #defyhatenow has already edited the Wikipedia article about Deim Zubeir from a one-line stub to a multi-facetted overview. Deim Zubeir has recently been included on South Sudan's first tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Dean of the Graduate School eV .•^C>v Goode, James Hubbard, The Fashoda Crisis: A Survey of Anglo-French Imperial Policy on the Upper Nile Question, 1882-1899. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December, 1971, 235 pp., bibliography, 161 titles. Early and recent interpretations of imperialism and long-range expansionist policies of Britain and France during the period of so-called "new imperialism" after 1870 are examined as factors in the causes of the Fashoda Crisis of 1898-1899. British, French, and German diplomatic docu- ments, memoirs, eye-witness accounts, journals, letters, newspaper and journal articles, and secondary works form the basis of the study. Anglo-French rivalry for overseas territories is traced from the Age of Discovery to the British occupation of Egypt in 1882, the event which, more than any other, triggered the opening up of Africa by Europeans. The British intention to build a railroad and an empire from Cairo to Capetown and the French dream of drawing a line of authority from the mouth of the Congo River to Djibouti, on the Red Sea, for Tied a huge cross of European imperialism over the African continent, The point of intersection was the mud-hut village of Fashoda on the left bank of the White Nile south of Khartoum. The. Fashoda meeting, on September 19, 1898, of Captain Jean-Baptiste Marchand, representing France, and General Sir Herbert Kitchener, representing Britain and Egypt, touched off an international crisis, almost resulting in global war.

  • Vegetarian Delights [For Jakarta Java Kini May 2014 Edition]
    Vegetarian Delights [for Jakarta Java Kini May 2014 edition] Few know that Indonesia is actually a vegetarian haven. Read on to find out more about the nation’s tastiest and healthiest delicacies. I have never understood those who did not like eating vegetables. When I was just a kid, I would be very confused whenever I watched adults encourage children on American TV shows to eat their veggies. I am not a vegetarian, but I have always loved eating my vegetables; they were always cooked so deliciously! It was not until I lived in the States, where my dose of vegetables could only come from bland boiled vegetables or raw leafy salads, that I understood why children would not prefer to eat healthily. Although with time I eventually adjusted to eating a healthy yet zesty salad, I would still take my tasty terong balado any day. Thus, I have listed a few of my favorite Indonesian vegetarian dishes. Vegetarians, I hope my choices do not disappoint! Let us begin with a local favorite – gado gado, an Indonesian salad of boiled vegetables and eggs topped with a tasty nut sauce. What makes gado gado different from Western style salads, however, is that there is more sauce than vegetable, meaning that each vegetable would be well coated with the nutty topping. Vegetables may include string beans, tempeh, potatoes, corn and cabbage. Gado gado is definitely worth a try, as it is practically an Indonesian staple. It is a dish that you can find in almost any vendor, whether that be a fancy restaurant or a hawker stall on the side of the road.
