This is not the first time Dr. Machar establishes national institutions. In the past, he created military command of the rebel movement, national committee for energy and mining, 21 states, foreign ministry, among others. The rebel leader also established SUDAR High Tension Transmission Company Limited, SUDAR Electricity Distribution Company, Women Empowerment, Child Welfare and Social Development, and National Committee for Roads and Transport Systems. Machar argues that the establishment of national institutions is essential to the economic growth of South Sudan’s rebel-held territories. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
