Highlights UNSC to discuss South Sudan’s security situation Gurtong 28/06/13 - The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is set to table discussion on the security situation in South Sudan next week, an official said Wednesday. Hilde F. Johnson, the Representative of the UN Secretary General in South Sudan revealed this after meeting the South Sudanese Vice President Dr. Riek Machar. She was briefing Riek on her recent mission to New York in which she presented a report to the Council on the current situation in South Sudan particularly in Jonglei State. She said the UNSC will also discuss on the human right situation of the nearly two year-old South Sudan. (Back to Top) South Sudan parliament says “low pay” affecting army’s performance Sudantribune.com Juba, 27/06/13 - The deputy speaker of South Sudan’s parliament said on Wednesday that better pay for the army was critical, if they are to provide adequate security in the country. Daniel Awet Akot said the house must work together with the executive, particularly the office of the president, to ensure that the necessary efforts are exerted to raise payment for those in active military service to raise their morale and dedication. “This is a serious issue and it is a concern of everybody. It affects not only performance of the army and dedications to providing service elegantly but breeds indiscipline and bad behaviour”, he said The South Sudan National Legislative Assembly, Akot argued, must do its best to raise the pay of soldiers and other security officials, stressing that a pay rise would boost the morale. Akot made the remarks as members of the assembly reviewed the annual budget before the country’s ministry pf finance and economic planning tables it later this month. The governor of Central Equatoria state, Clement Wani Konga, also joined the debate on Wednesday saying that the army’s low pay was a challenging issue. Konga said army salaries are "so low that the soldiers cannot support their families and take their children to school and for health service". A private in the army gets 600 South Sudanese pounds (about $150), which reduces to SSP 500 when taxed. Currently, a 50-kilogram bag of sorghum costs up to SSP 800. The governor was speaking at a meeting with Riek Gok Majok, the acting head of the bureau for community security and small arms control at South Sudan’s ministry of interior. Governor Konga called for the setting up of proper storage systems at state and country levels to reduce small arms in the hands of local people. “There are a lot of weapons still in the hand of the civil population in this country. This is a challenge that requires collective efforts and working together as individuals and as government," he said. The issue of low pay for the army and other law enforcement agencies is also another challenge facing this country, added the governor. Meanwhile Majok said his institution had so far managed to collect 3,700 different types of guns from civilians since 2005. He stressed the need for proper record keeping so weapons and their ownership can be tracked. (Back to Top) 2 SPLM Women’s League set to adopt Constitution SPLMToday.com Juba, 25/06/13 - A three-day workshop organized to review the Women’s League draft Constitution (Charter) opened in Juba Monday, with participants expected to critically analyze contents of the document before putting it to a nationwide vote. More than a hundred participants, including some 40 women leaders from all the 10 states of South Sudan are taking part in the review of the Constitution, which was first prepared in 2008 by a committee comprising seven women leaders under the leadership of Cde. Dr. Priscilla Joseph. The Committee never completed its work and the draft was never formally adopted. The Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) recently supported a project to resuscitate the process of establishing the Women’s League and a national committee chaired by Cde Jasmine Samuel was set up to spearhead the process of reorganizing and mobilizing SPLM women. The functions of the Committee included organizing the women at national and local levels and preparing the draft for discussions. "This is a milestone in the reorganization of the SPLM Women’s League," SPLM Secretary General Cde Pagan Amum said as he launched the gathering that he described as "very important." Secretary General Amum paid special tribute to the founder of the SPLM Dr. John Garang De Mabior for recognizing early on in the struggle the importance of the emancipation of women and assigning to them a 25 percent quota in the SPLM system. He hailed Dr. Garang De Mabior’s widow, Mama Rebecca Nyandeng De Mabior for her relentless support to her husband and contributions in organizing Sudanese women and efforts to ensure they are not ignored. Dr. Garang had often referred to women as the marginalized of the marginalized in society. Cde Amum explained that the main purpose for establishing the SPLM Women’s League was to end the marginalization of women, beginning in the party itself. Women, he pointed out, are "equal to men" and they must not be relegated to the fringes. The Secretary General cited the huge turn out of women during the referendum on self- determination for southern Sudan, saying it was critical in determining the final result of the vote; the secession of the South from the North. But he warned them that more remained to be done before women can be truly free. "You must develop programs to end the marginalization of women," the Secretary General urged the women. Mama Nyandeng De Mabior recalled the role women play during the liberation struggle, on the battlefield and off the battlefield as breadwinners as well as mothers and wives at home and good advisors to their husbands. She regretted that all these roles have never been properly recognized. Previous attempts to organize the Women’s League died on the vine. Women must do better this time around, according to Mama Nyandeng De Mabior. "This time I want to see something," she stated matter-of-factly. (Back to Top) China to train South Sudanese diplomats News Agency of South Sudan Juba, 28/06/13 - About twenty five South Sudanese diplomats are set to benefit from a 21-day diplomacy training workshop in China, the undersecretary in the ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation Ambassador Charles Manyang De Awol has said. Ambassador Wol made the announcement yesterday at the ministry's headquarters after he on behalf of the ministry, inked a relief memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Chinese 3 Ambassador to South Sudan Li Zhihuo. Without giving a date, he said the training is an initiative from the government of the People's Republic of China. As per the MoU document signed, Ambassador Wol, said the Chinese government promised to provide humanitarian relief items such as mosquito nets, Blankets, solar equipment among others to support the most vulnerable people of in the country. Ambassador Awol extended his sincere gratitude and appreciation to the people and government of China for their constant support to the people of south Sudan.

  • Isaiah Abraham
    Tribute To Isaiah Abraham Compiled By of Liberation The PAANLUEL WËL Dark [email protected] Ages http://paanluelwel2011.wordpress.com/ Isaiah Abraham in his own words AU force extension in Darfur, a victory to NCP not to SPLM By Isaiah Abraham* Mar 14, 2006 The drama that led to the extension of African Peacekeeping Forces in Darfur has nothing to do with the Sudan as a whole or SPLM as a party as propagated by those who are against the marginalized people of the Sudan. Darfur is bleeding and should have been saved. The man at the helm of this ‘victory’ is none other than Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin, the Sudanese Foreign Minister from the SPLM Party. Although it is not that easy to satisfy all interests in a coalition the least an astute politician could do or could have done was to compromise not his/her fall back base, no matter the enticement or attraction the players in that political scene. The Minister went out full blast to contradict his boss, President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his colleague in the Government of Southern Sudan (GOSS) Mama Rebecca de Mabior. President Salva was unequivocally pressed that NCP partner is not serious in its willingness to resolve Darfur crisis. Did anybody hear the President or other Southern politicians or the Southern public unease about UN peacekeeping forces intervention in Darfur? Where there demonstrations in the Southern cities in condemnation of the United States or the United Nations or Jan Pronk? Certainly there weren’t and there will not be any protest against presence of UN in any part of the Sudan.

  • Kerubino Kuanyin Bol Deng
    Kerubino Kuanyin An Oscillating Legacy between the National Dream and Multiple Camps of Loyalty By Dengdit Ayok 1 Kerubino Kuanyin: An Oscillating Legacy between the National Dream and Multiple Camps of Loyalty We have witnessed a few days ago, a great and vital national commemoration, the Martyrs’ Day. The importance of this tribute lies in the fact that we pause, as people of South Sudan, to look back at our long, heroic and historical journey. And as we retreat on Martyrs’ Day to contemplate the march, we see a torrent of blood that had been shed in the liberation struggle for the sake of freedom, so that we may become liberated; set free and independent in a country we all love; and we therefore feel our greatness as a people; and become greatly overwhelmed with gratitude for our martyrs, for the countless sacrifices they had made and profoundly appreciate them. And as we appreciate them, we become cognizant of an absolute patriotic truth; that they are the reason for our existence and the existence of our country, and that they shall and will always remain the reason behind her existence in this generation and the generations to come; in this fine land, from which a human jungle has sprouted against the enemies and usurping invaders. It is in the context of this memoriam, that one thought of writing about one of the founders of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLM/SPLA), to honestly say about him the facts that have become rare due to advancement of time, and the silence of people on mentioning them, or mentioning them in a quick way without dwelling on them during national occasions, especially amongst his colleagues and comrades who knew him, became close to him and worked with him.

  • Dinka-Nuer West Bank Peace and Reconciliation Conference
    Dinka-Nuer West Bank Peace and Reconciliation Conference Wunlit, Bahr el Ghazal, Sudan 27 February - 8 March 1999 A decade has elapsed since the Dinka-Nuer Peace and reconciliation Conference convened at Wunlit town during the period from 27 February to 8 March 1999. The Resolutions and agreement concluded at the conference continue to be invoked as a model for peace and reconciliation agreements for coexistence between the peoples and tribes of the Sudan. Perhaps, it could be further stretched to embrace other cultures that witness similar conflicts, worldwide. Now, a conference for peaceful coexistence between Dinka Malual and the Messirryia tribes was held during the period from 14 to 18 November 2008 at Aweil town. This event proves , beyond any doubt , that such conferences that directly involve representatives of the concerned tribes from amongst the chiefs , dignitaries, men and women young and old , could establish a solid ground for a genuine dialogue between neighboring people and tribes ,thus, laying the foundation for sustainable peace between them. Dinka-Nuer Peace and Reconciliation Conference; A historical perspective: In June, 1998, and by initiation of the New Sudan Council of Churches (NSCC), a number of tribal chiefs of border areas between the Dinka and the Nuer , together with a number of church representatives from areas on the two banks of the river Nile , have met at the Kenyan town of Louky . The meeting deliberated on the best ways for restoring peace to the area and reaching reconciliation between the two parties at war for solid seven years. The participants in that meeting have agreed to hold a series of peace conferences between the two tribes and the west bank conference came as result.
