South Sudanese authorities deport foreign journalist ArticleComments (23)EmailPrintSave
December 6, 2016 (JUBA) – The government of South Sudan on Tuesday ordered immediate deportation of Justin Lynch, an American scribe working for the Associated Press (AP). Lynch was reportedly taken to Juba airport and put on a Uganda-bound plane.The journalist, known for his extensive coverage of human rights violations in the young nation, was told he was being deported for his work, which never pleased South Sudanese authorities. According to the AP, prior to Lynch’s deportation, South Sudanese security agents seized his mobile phones and allowed him to pack his bag. Top executives from the agency defended the journalist, saying they will ask for explanation from South Sudan government on the American scribe was deported."Any move to suppress legitimate journalism and truthful reporting shedding light on humanitarian crimes is wrong and should be condemned. We hope that the government of South Sudan will reconsider its actions," Ian Phillips, AP’s vice president for international news told the agency Tuesday. When contacted, however, South Sudan’s Minister of Information Michael Makuei reportedly said he had no knowledge of the deportation, but will look into the matter. South Sudan is ranked 140th out of 180 countries in Reporters Without Borders 2016 World Press Freedom Index, falling 26 places since the start of its civil war in 2013.

How could they say that it is Dinka government, when James Wani and other high ranking official including Prime Minister, Hon. Martin Elia Lomoro and EQUATORIANS are being protected. REPONDRE MESSAGE7 DECEMBER 07:50, BY jubaoneSir King,It’s obvious that all NGOs employ Equatorians for their intelligence, hardworking and professional standards while jienges are best as watchmen or sitting at the gates as security guards. Most NGOs have low regards for jienge employees as most are uneducated or use fake certificates. REPONDRE MESSAGE7 DECEMBER 08:37, BY Joyuma JohnDear jubaone, you are the kind of people who are destroying South Sudan , the statement that you have stated in your comment may endanger Equatorians who are working in Dinka areas with UN and NGOS.intelligence is not associated to any paper from school, look here I hope you have good papers from school ,but you are not intelligent, compare to your comment here. REPONDRE MESSAGE7 DECEMBER 09:02, BY Sir KingDear Joyuna John,Thank you for understanding that. Jubaone is a fool and those are the ones who want to destroy this country. Calling all Dinka as watchmen is critical bias. He is not qualified, because I sure that he got that position through corruption of his relatives but not because he more clever than any other Dinka. Sorry indeed for Jubaone. REPONDRE MESSAGE7 DECEMBER 09:44, BY hamilSir KingYou seem to be agitated with Equatorians and NGOs, when your people [even the completely illiterate ones] dominated government offices in 2005 - 2013 and you had all the privileges over the Equatorians we did not whine and complain the way you do. What is wrong with you? Work in the NGOs are competitive the way you perform in the interview plus the papers you have will earn you the job. REPONDRE MESSAGE7 DECEMBER 09:49, BY hamilThe NGOs are not like the government where you go and bring your entire family and clan to fill government positions; NGOs go for intellectuals with hard earned Degrees and Master Degrees not 6 months certificates which most of you went to Uganda and Kenya for in the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 besides the way you express yourself vocally earns you an NGO job. REPONDRE MESSAGE7 DECEMBER 09:53, BY hamilIf you speak to a recruiter in broken English like most of you do I can assure you that is the first step to failure. Another reason why some of you don’t get NGO jobs is because most of you are brainwashed and are consumed with stupid pride. Your elders tell you that in every institution the person at the top has to be a JIENG and most of you would want to forcefully be at the top;... REPONDRE MESSAGE7 DECEMBER 09:58, BY hamilBut things don’t work like that in NGOs buddy there is a hierarchical ascendancy to the top you don’t assume executive responsibilities just because the JCE said the Jieng have to be treated with respect and honor forget that my friend South Sudan as a nation is not a communal set up where you have the prerogative knowing you have special attachments to certain things. REPONDRE MESSAGE7 DECEMBER 10:02, BY hamilMost of you were not interested or simply ignored NGOs in the early days of the CPA Fiasco from 2005 to late 2014 because you have the government dollars to steal and waste on East African prostitutes some of whom your own people employed in the ministries. Where on earth do you get foreigners working in the ministries? Only in South Sudan; accept that your people are responsible REPONDRE MESSAGE7 DECEMBER 10:10, BY Sir KingHamil,You wouldn’t dare tell me that only EQUATORIANS know English fluently in the sphere of South Sudan. Another thing, no Dinka or Nuer ignored NGOs jobs but your corruption denies other tribes from getting a head. Nevertheless you are not more qualified thank tribes in South Sudan but the greediness and selfishness occupied your whole hearts. Now, you will make food your brothers and sisters.REPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 10:21, BY hamilI am not saying all Jieng are not fluent I said some read that again. Bu the truth remains most of you struggle in self expression I can clearly tell that may be you are on of the few who ticks the box when it comes to self expression but then look at our government officials most of whom are your people listen to them keenly and you will understand what I am saying....and we are not selfishREPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 10:09, BY hamilFor the demise in South Sudan even your own son Nhial Bol Aken testified this. You made and destroyed South Sudan because you want everything to be for the Jieng only and not other tribes it doesn’t work that way and it won’t work in the 21st Century. South Sudan has people across all corners God is not mistaken when he placed the Equatorians where they are, in the place they call homeREPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 10:15, BY Sir King As your comments are false and baseless ones. Government has not made everything Jieng. I hope, the way you are all complaining, if you are given Presidency now, I think the President will EQUATORIAN, Vice President Equatorian, Prime Minister(Cabinet Minister) EQUATORIAN, First Vice President Equatorian, Speaker will be Equatorian and including all ministers. This is the time you will be happy.REPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 10:11, BY hamilThe same applies to you the Jieng God knows why he placed you in a rich land with oil as well as the Nuer and the shulluk so please stop whining and complaining like a woman who gets little attention from the husband....I rest my caseREPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 10:19, BY Sir King Hamil, you, Equatorians are benefiting more than any other tribe in South Sudan, yet you still keep running with open mouths complaining. Just wait, let this capital be relocated to any other part of South Sudan, I know now, as analyst. your complain will rock the whole world but now you are chasing people away from EQUATORIA region. Why do you behave like women?REPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 07:40, BY Sir King EQUATORIANS should avoid being childish and start mature up behaviors.REPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 07:58, BY Sir KingJubaone,You will see soon. Dinka are very much educated only that they never corrupt and they are not greedy at the same time like Equatorians. If you are educated ones, why do you fear open competitions against other tribes as you do corrupt jobs. I see all NGOs and these fucken UN must have problem against liberators, Dinka. Must be also curtailed because they are not fairly treating equally.REPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 08:10, BY Sir KingNGOs and UN must be also curtailed because they are not treating all tribes fairly.REPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 08:02, BY Sir King Remember also, the time you EQUATORIANS collaborated with Arabs and fighting against the same Dinka, you did not managed. Your wives and daughters were being raped by Arabs armies in Juba and that was why they named some areas like Atlabara(getout), Rujal Mapi(No men) and Lubas Mapi(Let me get you without underwear). But now, Dinka have liberated you from such evils and you want to kill them.REPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 08:06, BY Sir King Dear Jubaone,I hope you will never deny that you have such names not because you fight but you used to submit yourselves and become slaves to Arabs. Now you are in freedom and thus, you want to climb against Dinka. Remember, you will never forget unless you change your behaviours. We all know that South Sudan is for all of us, but they way you are handling the issues of bad leadership on tribe, REPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 08:07, BY Sir King will never help us in South Sudan. And this bad leader that you are killing Dinka because of him being a Dinka will never go away because you are mishandling it per now. REPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 08:19, BY LOGONOU r right when sayin there r Equatorian leaders in dis killez regime.......becuz u dont know wat they r up for.......just keep on with ur tribul plans....TAKE NOTE OF THIS REPONDRE MESSAGE 7 DECEMBER 09:38, BY hamilDonald Trump must hear this and deport South Sudanese marauding in USA REPONDRE MESSAGE -- 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.
