Rizik Zachariah Hassan as his replacement in a presidential decree read on the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) on Tuesday evening. ‎ ‎The decree did not specify reasons for Dr. Akol’s removal, but political analysts say the change comes amid mounting concerns over inefficiency and internal wrangles within the Ministry of Transport, particularly over the management of infrastructure projects and transport safety reforms. ‎ ‎Rizik Zachariah, who previously served as the Governor of Western Bahr el Ghazal State, is a seasoned politician and close ally of President Kiir.  ‎ His appointment is seen as part of a wider government reshuffle aimed at improving service delivery and ensuring loyalty within key ministries as South Sudan heads toward the anticipated national elections. ‎ ‎Dr. Lam Akol, a veteran opposition figure and leader...

South Sudan Lawyer: If President Kiir Bans South Sudan National Anthem Let Him Ban South Sudan Flag Too


One of the South Sudanese lawyers said that President Salva Kiir should also ban The South Sudanese flag which can be seen everywhere in the country.  

The anonymous lawyer also responded to South Sudan Information Minister remarks in which Hon. Makuei said only embassies and schools will the national anthem be allowed.  

In his own words the anonymous lawyer said that “If he [President Kiir] wants to ban the national anthem from being sung in his absence, let him ban all the flags from wherever they are. That means we won’t have flags in offices, in schools and the small flags people buy in streets during independence.”
 
The lawyer also added that “Just like you here, “national anthem” is for the nation, which means each of everybody in that nation owns it. So it’s for everybody. It’s not personal. To me, he’s personalizing the anthem. We have grown in different countries and we see national anthem is sang by everyone in Schools, meetings. So by not singing it in his absence, which means people will not have a symbol of their nation. So it doesn’t make sense to me. So if he bans it, which means he is banning the citizens from accessing what belongs to them.”

 “As a citizen of South Sudan, it is not fair. We need freedom of expression. We even need the young ones to know their national anthem. But now if he’s stopping it from being sang in his absence, how will the young ones know their citizenship”, the citizen raises her concerns.
 
Kindly your views and opinions will be appreciated.
