Top Trending News Today: 





President Kiir and VP. Dr. Wani Igga today on Monday discussed the security and economic turmoil in the  country. 


While addressing the media, VP. Dr. Wani Igga said they have made certain strategies to address the key underlying issues confronting the country.


According to Dr. Igga, the President has delegated him to tour Upper Nile State to popularize the message of peace, unity and reconciliation as the country prepares for elections.


Poverty is widespread throughout the country as the outcome of continued inter-communal conflict, displacement, and external fear. $7.012 billion (nominal, 2023 est.) $7.743 billion (PPP, 2023 est.)


The country economic outlook is now clouded by production bottlenecks in the oil sector, with production dwindling in the face of limited new investment and the current conflict in Sudan, highlighting the need to diversify the economy. 


The never ending conflicts in the country has reduced harvests, which has led to a lack of food.


In most  scenarios, this means an increase in poaching and cattle theft, which in turn leads to more conflicts contributing to South Sudan hunger crisis.
