Larson Angok Accepted a Huge support from Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel on 20th June 2024 and for the past 1 week , he has been the number one person in the list of critics and Abuses against the Presidential Advisor on Special Programs

In his appreciation letter, he said Bol Mel-dit agreed to Hugely support his Larson Angok Foundation which is set to be launched soon , now the question comes in , if he is calling Bol Mel as a Thief, did he just reliase after maybe Him Being supported and maybe failing to support the Larson Angok Foundation

There’s always a saying , meet Mel and you have met Dollars in Juba , so Larson Angok meeting him means that he didn’t leave empty handed

If indeed he left with the Huge Support we heard about , Then why did he Accept money from a man he claims that he has been doing wrong things since he was given the Road contracts through ARC

It’s good to criticize leaders but let’s criticize them with an aim of making them correct something we need to be changed.

South Sudan pound becomes the weakest currency in East Africa

This week the pound plunged to its lowest rate after years of decline. In 2011, South Sudan pound was the strongest currency in the region exchanging at SSP 275 to $100. Fast forward to July 2024 (13 years after independence), $100 is equal to SSP 400,000 in the parallel market.

Kenya’s shilling is the strongest currency in the region exchanging at KES 12,841 to $100.

Below are the current exchange rates for 8 countries of East Africa Community (EAC) bloc in order from the strongest to the weakest:

$100 = 12,841 Kenyan Shilling
$100 = 57,108 Somali Shilling
$100 = 130,937 Rwandan Franc

$100 = 369,278 Ugandan Shilling
$100 = 283,000 Congolese Franc
$100 = 287,830 Burundi Franc

TWO DISTINCT LEADERSHIP STYLES

Leadership styles exhibited by Mother Hen and Mother Duck.

The Mother hen lead from the back, while the Duck leads from the front.

The fact that the mother hen stays behind the chicks while the duck goes ahead of them highlights two different leadership styles: leading from behind and leading from the front.

Leading from behind, as demonstrated by the mother hen, is a leadership style that emphasizes support and empowerment. This style involves staying back to provide guidance and encouragement to followers, allowing them to take the lead and make decisions. It requires a high level of trust in the followers' abilities and a willingness to let them take the lead. This leadership style is effective in situations where followers have a high level of competence and need minimal direction.

Leading from the front, as demonstrated by the duck, is a leadership style that emphasizes direction and control. This style involves taking the lead and setting the direction for follower.

South Sudanese Pound hits historic low; as $100 dollars is now 400,000 SSP.

The exchange rate for the US Dollar has soared to new high against the South Sudanese Pound (SSP) on the parallel forex market, reaching the equivalent of 400,000 SSP for $100 Dollars when selling. This surge represents a significant increase from 360,000 SSP last week, as reported by traders to Phow Radio FM.

South Sudan's economy is currently grappling with a relentless deterioration of the SSP's strength against foreign currencies. This decline has triggered a steep rise in the cost of basic needs, placing additional strain on residents' livelihoods.

President Kiir had just changed his cabinet last week in response to the worsening economic crisis and uncheckable inflation. The former Minister of Finance, Awow Daniel Chuang, was dismissed and replaced by Marial Dongrin Ater, an economist tasked with steering the nation towards economic stability.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. president, was seen being helped off stage with thin streaks of blood on his face by U.S. Secret Service members after shots were fired while he was onstage at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday.
The Trump campaign said in a statement on Saturday evening that Trump was "fine" and that he is "being checked out at a local medical facility." Donald Trump Jr. also told ABC News that his father is "in good spirits" as he remains under medical observation.
A suspected gunman and one audience member are dead, the AP reported, citing Butler County district attorney Richard Goldinger. Another spectator is in a serious condition.
President Joe Biden denounced the violence during remarks on Saturday night and said in a statement earlier that he's "grateful" Trump is safe.
Trump and Biden are locked in a close election rematch, with most opinion polls showing the two evenly matched. Trump is due to officially receive the Republican nomination at the Republican National Convention that kicks off in Milwaukee on Monday.

JUST IN: South Sudan will go back to war in December 2024, Elections will not happen, General Gatwech claims

Months old interview of Gen. Simon Gatwech Dual, leader of the SPLM/A-IO Kit-Gwang Faction has resurfaced online. Gatwech made alarming claims about the future of South Sudan. According to Gen. Gatwech, the country will be plunged back into war in 2024, and the scheduled elections will not take place as previously announced.

Gen. Gatwech, currently in Khartoum, Sudan alleges that President Salva Kiir and First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar will intentionally sabotage the election process to cling to power.

In an interview with a South Sudanese online publication (Radio Tamazuj), he stated that both Kiir and Riek are deceiving the public by promising elections in December 2024, but in reality, conflict will erupt close to the election period.

This is a statement from the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency on the current situation between the South Sudanese and Ethiopian refugees in Kenya refugee camps. There is something that’s not clear in this statement. The UNHCR KENYA should make it abundantly clear that the South Sudanese Anyuak refugees are the ones traveling for a distance and attacking the Ethiopian refugees in their camps.

These violent attacks are not only targeting the Ethiopian refugees but also the other refugees with different nationalities in the area. I urge the government of Kenya to ensure the safety and security of the Anywaa South Sudanese and Nuer refugees. The South Sudanese Anyuak refugees should not be allowed to travel for over 30 minutes to attack these vulnerable refugees in their camps. That’s not acceptable, and it should have never happened in any country that’s entrusted with such an international responsibility like Kenya.

Kenya Government restricts movement in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kalobeyei Settlement amid ongoing violence

The Kenyan State Department for Citizen Services, has issued a directive imposing movement restrictions in Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement. This decision follows recent violent clashes between South Sudanese communities in the Kalobeyei Settlement, which resulted in at least 10 fatalities, as of today.
The restrictions, effective from June 26, 2024, prohibit movement into or out of Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. The measure aims to prevent further violence and ensure the safety of residents and humanitarian workers.

The letter, signed by E. Chibari, Camp Manager of Kakuma Camps and Kalobeyei Settlement, stated, "There shall be restriction of movement to enter or leave Kakuma refugee camp and Kalobeyei settlement from today 26th June 2024 from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am. This is to inform your organization and to help us in maintaining the safety and security within the camps."

This directive comes in response to the deadly altercation that began on June 23, 2024, between the Nuer and Anyuak communities. The violence has escalated tensions within the camp, complicating efforts by police to restore order.

Kalobeyei, established in 2015 in Turkana County, Kenya, houses a significant number of South Sudanese refugees who fled the civil conflict that erupted in December 2013.
