JUBA – South Sudan’s National Media Authority has told journalists in the country to be careful of media laws that the government has introduced saying it is the responsibility of all the citizens to protect the right of freedom of the press.

Speaking during a one-day workshop organized by Association for Media Development in South Sudan (AMDISS), Atong Majok Kur, the Chairperson of the Media Authority said journalists should be mindful of the various media laws the government has provided.

“You hear that it is the responsibility of even individuals working in media houses to promote the freedom of expression. It is not only the government, we have role to play. It’s not only the security agencies,” Atong Majok said, according to Eye Radio.

“It is important for the journalists to be very careful about the laws that we have. I don’t know how many of us here have the Media Authority Act with them, or policies under Media Authority? Do we go through them as broadcasting media houses? Do we go through the principles of Print media? We need to go through all these in order to be well equipped to promote freedom expression,” she added.

The head of the media regulator further called on AMDISS to raise funds to facilitate the establishment of media appeal board and other committees to render legal aid to journalists and media houses.

    “Gov’t urges journalists ‘to be very careful’ of media laws”

    Well journalists should be allowed to do their own jobs within their professions laws without be looking over their shoulders and must be protected by the laws just like everyone else. But the sad part is there are South Sudanese journalists and even foreign journalists, who don’t even adhere to their own profession protocols and hence some hotheaded South Sudanese authorities always sometimes to berserk and think, they are personally under attack.

    Whiteout Journalists to keep the authorities in check, we would all be in a big trouble trust me. Journalists are supposed to allies of the communities and the ordinary South Sudan masses. But in these days and age of online and social media 24/7 news blitz, Traditional spreadsheet news papers are not selling their newspapers like they used to. And hence, the journalists who gather the news for those are not making a living for themselves and their families.

    And so some of them resort to other ways of making a living——and some of those other ways might be in conflict with their profession integrity and their conscious. Really, it is a very situation for journalists to balance even rich countries. Even Western rich western countries, True journalism had be compromised, young boys and girls fresh from Journalism schools don’t get job in their mothers/fathers traditional villages/towns/regional newspapers and televisions anymore. They have already sold off or by big corporations in big cities or other countries.

    And those big corporations don’t give a damn about local, towns, regional or countries’ issues, their ultimate aim to profit at all costs. Big corporations or multinational corporations are affront to humanity. In the US of ole A, corporations are personified, “Corporation are people my friend” says former former presidential candidate, Mr. Romney.

    Well, yeah, behind those big corporations or multinationals, there are ‘faceless people behind them’. Mr. Mitt Romney was very sincere and honest. But those ‘secretive and faceless people’ have caused a lot of ‘destruction, misery and deaths to countless human beings and environment around the world’.

    I am always accused by some of my detractor to be ‘a conspiracy theorist’. But I know write I always write about. The US army isn’t a real army since WWII it is a mercenary force controlled by ‘the secret societies and families multinational banking cartels and multinational oil companies ‘the NATO, CIA, FBI, NSA, US special forces, MI6, Mosad, NSO (Pegasus), Untied nation mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) or the Blue Berets or Blue Helmets et al. Are just parts of the so-called *AGENDA 21 or the so-called UN NEW WORLD ORDER GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENT WITHOUT BORDERS or their so-called AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION* being touted by FOREIGN AND SECRET SOCIETIES CRIMINALS’. Who have sold themselves to the devil and thought, they can also sell other people and their countries, without their countries and people’s consents.

    For those us of in the Know. There are evils in the US, the UK, their lackeys here in the IGAD, the African Union (the AU), their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dog, their gulf Arab states’ financiers, Rwandans, Abeshas prostitutes, their UN, their shifty NGOs and their UNMISS mercenaries of Rwandans, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians (prostitutes) , Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lankans and other bunch of creepy criminals who covet our country and our people death—-were brought to our country and over our people to come and be wrestled here in South Sudan. *On the pretext/disguise of the so-called* of the so-called “humanitarian aid, donations, peacekeeping, human rights nonsense, damned so-called UN NEW WORLD ORDER GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENT WITHOUT BORDERS, their so-called AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION piece of trash being promoted by low lives and secret societies’ criminals of former South African criminal, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, current Rwandan president, Paul Kagame, former Tanzania president, Mr. Jakaya Kikwete (what a name?), current Kenyan drunk, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta and his arch rival, Mr. Raila Odinga (loser) who even brags that he is the only CIA agent in Africa!, former Abesh (so-called ethiopia) prostitute, piece of rubbish, Mr. Hailemariam Desalegn, his predecessor, a low Mr. Abiy Ahmed, former Nigerian president and a scammer, Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo, former evil juus (so-called israelis) attack low life, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, former president of the US, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, Susan Rice, a piece of a globalist prostitute, who even married an evil white English low life, the people, we hate to death. Susan Paige, another piece of prostitute who was deep in the neck of 15/12/2013, former UNMISS prostitute, Ms. Hilde Johnson, her former boss, of the UNSC, a South Korean slitty-eyed piece criminals, Mr. Ban Ki Moon.

    His South Korean mercenaries were brought here to my hometown of Bor, Jonglei:

    Do you low lives really think, you can play balls with us? Korean war was fought by the UN. *North Korea and South Korea* are just the same people. Probably some low lives think, ‘South Sudan are equal with North Sudan’——artificial intelligent(AI) speaks, good luck. We are the ancient Egyptians. North Korea and South Korea have been apart for over 50 years. And might well, have developed their own paths. Some of their diehard in South Koreans or North Koreans and their admires even want the Korean united. They even have what they called *Koreans unification ministry in South Korea*.

    What is the US business in Korean Peninsula? To be honest with you fellows, US business in Korean Peninsula is what the obstacle Korean people’s peace and reunification. North Korea is well armed than South Korea, they have been ‘sanctioned by the evils’, but they just hang in there. They want to be bullied by nobodies, North Korea can just bomb Seoul in a matter of minutes even including the US army Shields (Thuds) and get away with it.

    But their army generals know, they are Korean people whom they are going to kill, and that is how ‘secret societies and corporations and multinational criminals use others people and their countries as their *Negotiations, blackmails and intrigues*.

    *Samsung,and Hyandai are South Korean merchandises, While Toyota and Mazda, Honda are Japanese Merchandises. Follow us fellows, We are the ancient Egyptians. Mr. Ida Amin, went and fought in Korean War as a British Mercenary with other Africans, when came back, he came and *kicked the Indians or then so-called Asians mercenaries of Asians and White people evils out of his country* Mr. Ida Amin went and be called *an Ape in New York* by the same rubbishes and low lives who think, they are superior than us, good them.

    Our Nile Rivers and her tributaries, we cannot share them with our *Bantuses, Arabs, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Sri Lankans, white Americans, English people, their gulf Arab states’ financiers and some of their Ancients, their UN, their UNSC or UNMISS, not today, not yesterday reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. Fellows, watch this SPACE.>>>>

    Good luck them.
