Top Trending News Today: 





The government has lifted the ban imposed on radio Miraya a UN- owned radio station after being directed not to cover events in the country. 


Earlier in the year 2018, Media Authority, an independent body delegated by the government to regulate journalistic practice suspended Radio Miraya Fm 101 operation in South Sudan. 


The suspension of Radio Miraya 101 FM was allegedly due to non-compliance and refusal to be regulated under the laws of South Sudan. 


The suspension had no or little effect to the radio station since it continued to operate without any interruptions. 


Information Minister Hon. Michael Makuei Lueth 'lashed out' at Radio Miraya 101 FM and reiterated his directives of banning the radio station. It was in April. 


Media Authority Managing Director, Mr. Elijah Alier Kuai while speaking to the media, said that the imposed ban on radio Miraya is lifted effective 3 August 2023. 


“This is to inform the general public, government institutions, media houses, NGOs, and UN Agencies that the Media Authority has lifted the suspension order and restriction on Radio Miraya FM, effective from Thursday, August 03, 2023,” Elijah said. 


Information Minister Hon. Michael Makuei for his part said that, journalist working for Radio Miraya are now free to cover all government events and functions across the country. 


“Just to conform to rules and regulations of the state, yes, we are members of the UN and if we are members of the UN, then we will definitely abide by whatever is done in the UN but people should conform with the laws of the country in which you are operating and that is all. It is a free service, registration is free and frequency is issued free, and thereafter you operate freely,” Hon. Michael said. 


“I am sure the journalists who attended in this hall last time. I asked if there were anybody from the UNMISS and he said here I am from Miraya FM; that journalist will be free now to attend and you will not be questioned again,” he added.


Mr. Nicholas Haysom, head of the UN Mission 'UNMISS' said that, Radio Miraya was registered without any prejudice to the UN rights under the Status Of Forces Agreement 'SOFA' which was signed between the government and the United Nations in the year 2011. 


 “The resolution is based on the registration of this radio without prejudice of UN rights under the Status of Forces Agreement. It allows and confirms radio frequency in compliance with domestic communication legislation. This administration of formalization of Radio Miraya allows us to serve the people of South Sudan better with independent, impartial, and peaceful podcasts,” Haysom said.


Radio Miraya is a United Nations radio station based in Juba, South Sudan. It provides news, information, and entertainment to the people of South Sudan and serves as a platform for promoting peace, reconciliation, and development in the region
