-
The tractors President Salva Kiir donated to states last year are not been used because of insecurity in the area Yei River, says Director in the State ministry of Agricultural and Forestry. Edmond Taban Gogo says Yei cannot use its tractors because there is no land to cultivate as farmers cannot access far areas outside the town due to insecurity. He says four tractors were already given to the Ministry, meanwhile others have been given to Morobo and Lainya Counties, but they are not functional. Taban says the situation is beyond their control and that the tractors can only be used if the security situation improves in the state. He advises people of Yei to make use of the rainy seasons by cultivating in any available land to provide food to their families. Some residents of Yei also complain of insecurity and limited land for cultivation because they are still confined to the town.

Kick out Ventura, Tavecchio and the dinosaurs! World Cup flops Italy need a revolution With the Azzurri suffering the ultimate humiliation, it has become clear that the country’s rotten footballing foundations need to be uprooted.   Forget North Korea in 1966. Forget South Korea in 2002. Forget New Zealand in 2010. Italy failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup is the biggest embarrassment in the country's history. Even before the 0-0 draw against Sweden at San Siro on Monday, it was clear that Italian football was broken. Now, with Italy out of Russia 2018, it's even more obvious. There needs to be a revolution.
