The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs has called on Non-Governmental
Organizations to ensure a balance by employing South Sudanese from all
ethnic backgrounds.Hussein Maar Nyuot said this will ensure fairness and
avoid conflicts between people from various tribes.“Don’t bring them from
one community and then you say that we are doing balance. It is not good,
to be honest, and this is where you meet problems because you get these
problems,” Maar said.

He said also employing the local people in an area will enable the NGOs to
operate without disruption.“If now you are working in Jonglei and for some
reasons, you want to evacuate some people and you don’t have people from
Jonglei. All are from Northern Upper Nile who is working Jonglei and you
evacuate them, then your work is death in Jonglei,” he said.

Mr. Maar also said there should be gender balance in employment.“Let us
balance our employment; our opportunities for jobs. So if you want to
employ people, you want to take ten to Upper Nile today, all the
communities of Upper Nile and particularly women and young girls, let them
get there. And this is empowerment,” said Maar.

Mr. Maar was speaking during the launching of the strategic plan for a
local organization, Smile Again Africa Development Organization.
