[image: JPEG - 26.5 kb]*Alfred Taban (Time-UA Photo)* Alfred Taban, the Editor in Chief of the *Juba Monitor*, was arrested after having received several telephone calls from security service to report their headquarters in Jebel. "I am now on the way to them. They called the associate editor and also my number but I could not hear because I had placed the telephone on silence, when I was in the prayer services in the church. They called Ann Nimiriano and they told her they were looking for her and me," Taban told *Sudan Tribune* when reached to know why the security services were looking for him. The Associate Editor ,Ann Nimiriano Nunu, confirmed in a separate interview when reached on Saturday on the same matter that she received several calls from the security looking for Alfred and herself. "I went with him (Alfred) to the headquarters of the security because they asked us to go, so we went. they called several times when Alfred was in the church", Nunu told *Sudan Tribune* on Saturday . "He was arrested in my presence", she added. Nunu said security services were reacting to Taban’s call for resignation of President Salva Kiir and the First Vice President, Riek Machar in his "Let Us Speak Out" column, published on Friday’s edition about the situation in the country. Alfred, said he, is convinced that Kiir and Machar would never work together in uniting the country. "They have ordered the closure of the paper", she added. "So we are not coming out tomorrow and we don’t know when they will allow us to operate again," she said. (ST) Comments on the Sudan Tribune website must abide by the following rules.

He deserves to be free because of his truthful information through the media. This is yet another blow to freedom of press. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59646&id_forum=350648> - 17 July 08:54, by Thyinka Why should Taban be arrested for telling the truth? Kiir and Machar are failed leaders. The earlier they go, the better for South Sudanese. South Sudanese are tired of these useless power struggles. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59646&id_forum=350649> - 17 July 09:26, by Eastern Thyinka, There’s no power struggle; Dr Machar came to Juba from Pagak to implement the ARCISS which Kiir was reluctant to sign and not willing to implement with Dr Machar. So Kiir staged that nasty incident at J1 to forestall any chances of implementing the agreement. Don’t be like any foreigner without knowledge on what’s happening in the country!!!! repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59646&id_forum=350651> - 17 July 09:54, by jur_likang_a_ likan’g Surely Riek came to Juba a reformed man. He is genuinely for peace. But he has met resistance by JCE who want to dominate political landscape in South Sudan. He went to all churches in Juba appealing for peace. However he was responded with murder of his senior officers in his security service, arrest of his followers. Who now is against peace? His program is appealing to the country!! repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59646&id_forum=350655> - 17 July 10:10, by Akook After many years of brutal treatments by NIF over telling truth, it is SHAME, BIG SHAME that veteran Alfred Taban would still later be subjected to the same treatment in Independent South Sudan. I truly believe now that colonization or brutal dictatorship has no colors. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59646&id_forum=350658> - 17 July 13:43, by Ayuiu Makuac Lam Many thanks to NISS, this JUBA MINITOR, is dramatizing the situation of South Sudan. repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59646&id_forum=350687> - 17 July 14:04, by Eastern Ayuiu, With many NSS operatives having been put out in the streets of Juba; what followed is the situation that’s prevented Kiir to join his fellow despots in Kigali, Rwanda. You and likeminded think the NSS operatives, a copy-and-paste from Bashir’s Sudan will be the panacea to ending the critism of Dinkocracy in South Sudan. Alfred Taban will be freed and I & likeminded will continue to...... repondre message <http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?page=forum&id_article=59646&id_forum=350689> - 17 July 14:07, by Eastern .....cont. I and my likeminded will continue to remind Kiir and cohorts to dish Dinkocracy and follow the rule of law!!! -- 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.
