Dr Machar urges American business people to invest in the new country
JUBA, 9 March 2012 - In an effort to promote South Sudan to the
world’s largest investors, the Vice President of the Republic, Hon Dr
Riek Machar Teny, visited the New York Stock Exchange in the United
States of America yesterday and held a number of meetings with the
leading business people at the Stock Exchange.

Dr Machar told the investors that South Sudan is now a sovereign
nation with business potential and is free from debts and sanctions as
it is no longer part of Khartoum. He said the new nation has huge
potentials in oil, agriculture, wildlife and tourism and urged the
investors to do business in the region.

The Vice President while in New York also met with the American
Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, and discussed a wide
range of issues including the ongoing post independent negotiations
between Juba and Khartoum in Addis Ababa as well as the shutdown of
the oil production and the way forward.

He also met with the Chinese Ambassador to UN, Li Bidoang who
expressed his country’s strong support to see Sudan and South Sudan
share a harmonious relationship. Ambassador Bidoang described his
country’s relations with South Sudan as “strong as stone.”

Dr Machar will end his two-day stay in New York on Friday.

Kenyan institutions of information and communication agree to support
South Sudan
NAIROBI, 9 March 2012 (NASS) - The Kenyan institutions of information
and communication have agreed to cooperate with and support the
region’s new nation South Sudan in the areas of communication and
information.


This was concretized this week by the minister for Information and
Broadcasting, Hon Dr Barnaba Marial Benjamin together with the
ministry’s top officials during a tour of the Kenyan institutions of
communication and information. This tour followed an assessment
conducted by Kenyan government on the performance of SSTV and Radio.

 The minister and the officials also used the tour to see physically
what areas of interest the government of Kenya can support them in
terms of communication and information, though the assessment team had
already identified these in advance.


The institutions covered during the tour were the Kenya News Agency,
board of films classifications, Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC),
the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication, the Government Printing
Press, Nation Media Group and Royal Media Services.

 The minister showed great interest in the rural press, mobile cinema,
documentaries, media monitoring and training of the staff explaining
that it is important because 90% of the population is rural and need
effective communication to inform them about the government.


Meanwhile his counterpart in the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Samuel
Poghisio said Kenya is more than willing to support the Republic of
South Sudan and if possible to extend the MoU previously signed. The
Kenyan government earlier signed a capacity building MoU and agreement
in Oslo-Geneva to assist South Sudan through the donor’s basket.

The coordinator of Kenya-South Sudan cooperation program for capacity
building, Suzan Njuguna revealed that USD 3.5 million was donated to
South Sudan and at least 2,500 government officials trained.


She added that memorandum which was signed previously in 2006 is
expected to expire by 2013.

RSS marks International women’s Day
JUBA, 9 March 2012 - Women across the new Republic of South Sudan
yesterday marked the International Women’s Day with speaker after
speaker praising the leadership of the government of South Sudan for
involving and including women in key decision making processes.


Speaking at the occasion, Mama Mary Kiden who was a former minister
for Gender and a member of parliament from Kajo Keji recalled that
today women have achieved remarkable success in terms empowerment
compared to the past. She said many women are holding key government
positions, many girls are enrolling in schools, and a good number of
women have access to medical facilities as opposed to the past.


She said the history of women empowerment in South Sudan dates back to
Feb 1986 with the late Mama Juan Margret who organised a meeting in
Nyakuron to address bottlenecks of women empowerment.

The late Juan was a director of Social Welfare, a grade three position
by then. She was believed to be one of the first women in the history
of South Sudan, and Central Equatoria in particular, to hold such a
higher position in government.


She recalled that the issues they tabled included how women can break
the wall to join politics, how more women can be educated, women
involvement in income generating activities and reducing if not
eliminating birth related deaths among women.


She observed that much as a lot has been achieved, a lot still stands
on the women’s way of total empowerment. She noted that to date women
still suffer from a number of violence ranging from domestic violence
to organised violence. “Women suffer more from organized violence than
domestic violence these days; we have seen it in most states of South
Sudan”, she said.

She recommended that the government should take bold stems to stop
organised violence in the country. “Organized violence is what we must
stop. South Sudan is already an independent county, we want all guns
to be with the organised forces and not with civilians”, she said.


Mama Kiden said another uphill battle for women today is high school
dropouts among the girl child. She reported that most girls across the
country drop out of school after completing primary education just
because they are pregnant or married off early. “Mostly parents are
aware of the Child Act of 2008, but they don’t report when their
children are put out of school because of early pregnancy”, she. She
called on the mothers to be observant of the kids until when they are
able to make it to high school.


Meanwhile, Natasha Emerson who is Information, Counselling and Legal
Assistant with the Norwegian Refugee Council said the international
women’s day means a lot for the women of South Sudan. She said it is a
day for the women of South Sudan to celebrate their strength, courage,
beauty and power. She further said it was a day for women to pose and
look at where they are coming from, where they are and to see steps
forward for better lives.

Ms Emerson said women constantly need to remind themselves that the
struggle for empowerment is far from over. “Although we have many
success stories, women empowerment cannot be reduced to individual
success stories”, she said.


The day was celebrated at the Nyakuron Cultural Centre with the theme
“Empowering rural women to end hunger”.

communities which are receiving people that are not formally settled

that are supposed to bring IDPs but Khartoum doesn’t want to release
the barges. He said Khartoum earlier threatened South Sudan IDPs to
leave its territory before 8th April but stopped water transportation
of the IDPs.

Two oil wells in Unity hit by SAF
JUBA, 2 March 2012 - The government of the Republic of Sudan has
violated the security memorandum of understanding it had signed
recently with the government of South Sudan in the Ethiopian capital
of Addis Ababa and bombed two oil fields in Unity state, a government
official has said.


Dr Barnaba Marial Benjamin, the minister for Information and
Broadcasting and official spokesperson of the government of the
Republic of South Sudan revealed this to the press yesterday in an
extraordinary press briefing at the Ministry of Information and
Broadcasting headquarters.


Dr. Marial explained that Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) carried out aerial
bombardments at Pan Akwac Boma of Nyeil Payam in Paryang County in
northern Unity state on Wednesday hitting two oil wells that
consequently resulted into oil spilling all over the area. He added
that two cars were completely destroyed in the attack. This location
bombed is put at 74 km inside South Sudan from the borders with the
Republic of Sudan.

The information minister however noted that no lives so far have been
reported lost. He added that in a bid to avoid further damage, the
power supply to the affected wells had to be turned off.


“The Republic of South Sudan condemns these attacks by the Khartoum
government with the strongest terms possible”, said Dr. Marial. He
announced that the government will officially lodge a complaint to
United Nations Security Council on these violations by the government
in Khartoum against the Republic of South Sudan.


Dr. Marial re-echoed the position of the government of the Republic of
South Sudan against Khartoum’s accusations that it is supporting rebel
groups opposed to National Congress Party (NCP). “South Sudan is not
in any way party to the warring parties in Darfur, Blue Nile and South
Kordofan”, he stated.


This is yet one among many cases of suspected attacks by Khartoum
against the Republic of South Sudan though Khartoum has denied all the
accusations.
