HOW INNOCENT Imagine China funding American Association of Journalists in order to boost independent journalism in America. Let’s face it, in South Sudan, anything goes. When political parties or media outlets are funded by “friendly” nations, independence flies out of window.

The Chinese post by Zai Bu called me ‘naive’ for thinking there were ever an independent media in the world. If 舟不载 had understood my post correctly, he would have agreed with me and blamed Eye Radio for reporting that Dutch money will promote independent media in SSD.

SOUTH SUDAN: A CALL FOR MASS HIGHER EDUCATION I published this article on University World News after I organized the first conference on the future of higher education in South Sudan in November 2011. I still find it appealing today. universityworldnews.com/post.php?story…

ONLY 20% OF ANY POPULATION CHANGE THEIR SOCIETY According to Suzan Sontag, 10% of any population are cruel (corrupt), no matter what; and 10% are merciful (not corrupt), no matter what; while the remaining 80% can be swayed to go either way. With Sunday blessings, My Friends

Public education changes the world. It sheds light. It opens minds. No?

SOUTH SUDAN HAS EVERYTHING !! The only thing lacking is the willingness to do the right thing MOST of the time. Happy Independence Anniversary weekend, My Friends.

A CHINESE QUOTE WORTHS NOTING A country whose thinkers cannot fight, and her fighters cannot think, will have her thinking done by cowards, and fighting done by fools. Sunday blessings, My Friends

I CARE LESS If the whole government of RSS is Red (Malwal) or Blue (Mangok), as long long as there is freedom and justice for ALL it will be fine. Like they say, the test of the pudding is in the eating. A government position is not a previlige, it is a heavy responsibility.

THIS DAY IS A THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF THE PUBLIC CONSULTATION AT UNIVERSITY OF JUBA It led to suspension by the President of the Republic of plans to dredge the Sudd and revive the infamous Jonglei Canal Project.

SERVICES REFUGEES? I had a photo op with SSD family at Munyonyo park near Kampala while I was out attending a scientific conference in 2019. On Independence Day lets us resolve to create peaceful, free, and conducive environment for return of families back home. Happy Ind Day

YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT Is a grave concern worth noting. Young people are collecting university degrees from home and abroad. For majority of them, years pass without gaining employment. Not addressed sooner, the social and political risks this poses are enormously incalculable.
