Fear and Hope in Juba: 623 Arrested in Battle Against Gang Violence

‎ ‎Central Equatoria State (CES) security forces have arrested 623 individuals suspected of affiliation with notorious street gangs in Juba as part of a sweeping anti-crime operation across the capital . ‎ ‎The suspects are allegedly linked to high-profile gangs such as 4SG Slime, West Coast, ODA, Killers Gang, Black Devils, among others. ‎ ‎While detailed profiles of the detainees remain pending, officials emphasize the operation is in direct response to a recent surge in heinous criminal activity including a particularly disturbing gang rape in the Shirikat area of Juba, which sparked national outrage and hastened the crackdown.  ‎ ‎In the wake of the arrests, CES Governor Rabi Emmanuel Mujung has renewed calls for reformatory schools aimed at providing vocational training and rehabilitation for youth implicated in gang activities. ‎ ‎This includes proposals for a holistic strategy pairing enforcement with social and mental health support a key element raised during recent securi...

Opinion: Go To University To Read


Mr. Reno. 

Top News:


Go to university to read:

  • Accounting
  • Actuarial science
  • Agriculture
  • Anatomy
  • Architecture
  • Banking and Finance
  • Business
  • Communications
  • Cybersecurity
  • Dentistry
  • Economics
  • Education
  • Engineering (all kinds)
  • Geology
  • Geophysics
  • Marketing
  • Mathematics
  • Nursing
  • Optometry
  • Pharmacy
  • Psychology/Psychiatry
  • Science (Medicine, health and medical based degrees, Physics and Chemistry based courses)
  • Technology (Robotics, Aeronautics, IT, AI, and Digital technologies)


These are relevant degree courses up to tomorrow. From a cost-benefit analysis point of view, they offer the best successful outcomes against time and money spent in a university. 


I may have missed one or two. But not much. If your degree is not there, chances are that AI has already rendered it obsolete. 


Political science, languages and linguistics, sociology, philosophy, library science, public administration, and mass communication are okay to read for just a few people. 


But when hundreds of thousands study these courses in a country with few opportunities for such areas of specialisation, you may want to tread softly.


If you follow me, you will know how much I admire and am committed to studying languages, linguistics, and etymology. 


But I am only able to do this because, by the grace of God, I have money. If I was broke, I could not do it. And if you have fifty thousand languages and linguistic graduates in one country, they will not find jobs. Fifty to a hundred is okay. Anything more is wahala! 


The point is that many courses now offered by many universities are obsolete. According to research from the Pew Institute, some universities only offer such courses to raise their income. 


Many, including Oxford and Cambridge, are shutting down some out-of-date departments. 


Instead of spending $20,000 and four years to read a course irrelevant to modern life, you are better off taking a six month to one-year course and learning a marketable on-demand skill. 


I did not forget any course. If your course is not there, there is a cause for that course of action. I read Law up to Masters level in England. Do you see Law on the list? 


Please don't insult me. It is just the reality.
