    A journalist was attacked by a political leader in Cape Town, South Africa on 20 March while covering a story outside the parliament. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins its affiliate the Media Workers' Association of South Africa (WASABI) in condemning the attack and demanding respect for press freedom in the country. On Tuesday 20 March, journalist Adrian De Kock, working for Netwerk24, was attacked outside the parliament in Cape Town by Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) deputy president Floyd Shivambu as De Kock took a picture of him and asked for a comment. Shivambu then proceeded to attack him with two other men, demanding he deletes the photo and trying to break his equipment. De Kock then fought back and yelled multiple times “leave my stuff alone”, as seen on a video released.  Shivambu published an apology later accepting that his impatience was inappropriate. While welcoming the politician’s apology, IFJ president Philip...

By   Amb. Telar Ring Deng I write this open letter in response to the most unfortunate incendiary allegations widely circulated by Hon. Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth and register my utmost disgust and dismay at the allegations posited against my person and circulated to all and sundry with the sole purpose of tarnishing my name. For starters, it is a fact that is within public domain that my father in law, the late Gen. Andrew Makur Thou has been ailing and was hospitalized in Khartoum. My visit to Sudan was made public from the day I arrived. It is quite unfortunate that you chose to take advantage of this most unfortunate event when we are mourning the passing on of a gallant South Sudanese elder who is also my father in law to spin rhetoric from your very narrow political lenses. Just to put matters into proper perspective, upon learning of the death of Gen. Makur, the 1st Vice President and Prime Minister of Sudan, H.E. Bakri Hassan Saleh wh...

Those on the list include government, state-linked and private groups in South Sudan that "are involved in activities that are contrary to the foreign policy interests of the United States," according to a related Department of Commerce document published on Wednesday. Washington has already placed sanctions on South Sudanese military and pol...

A South Sudanese observer warned that simmering wrangles on the country’s oil resources between President Kiir’s group and the opposition faction led by his first deputy Taban Deng Gai are likely to affect the unity government. Dr. Jok Madut Jok, Co-founder of the South Sudanese think-tank, the Sudd Institute, told Radio Tamazuj today that he sees differences between the two groups over the use of oil wealth, while pointing to sings of completion between them. “Ultimately there will be problems between the two groups. Taban Deng’s group has recently declined to pay money to a company belonging to Kiir’s community after supplying fuel to the country and instead awarded a contract to a foreign company based in Uganda,” he said. Jok claimed that some local companies have recently emerged and nobody knows their background. “When the resources become scarce, the two groups will definitely differ,” he said. Jok said the current unity governme...
