School Overcrowding in Unity State foreseen to cause atrocities
Nyak Simon Lieth, Juba
The minister for higher education in the government of unity state, Them Machar Kuol, said school children in state are likely to experience atrocities for overcrowding in classes because of fewer schools which don’t accommodate maximum number of both primary pupils and secondary students.Overcrowding in school is a bad situation that can risk children lives.
In case of air bone diseases one may have in the class, definitely it can affect majority of them.
Unity state has performed better this year holding the second position in national examination 2011, final results in Sudan School Certificate (S.S.C) with 93% who have successfully passed above average. The state have three hundred and eighty one primary, one hundred and ten nursery schools, eleven secondary schools, one college and one university under renovation that will be officially opened next year.
Almost four hundred and two are the total schools which now exist in the state. Education is operating smoothly; using the same system being applied in the entire nation.
This year results were admirable; he reiterated speaking to citizen reporter in the inclusive interview on Tuesday.
“Although, we have a problem of mobility those are common obstacles in South Sudan,” he explained.
His ministry has employed four hundred and fifty two teachers around the state since last year, because there is lack of qualified teachers who can equip the children with adequate abilities. Some teachers could not speak English those are the challenges the government stressed to eradicate.
The governments have managed to send some teachers to Malakal who have completed what he described as “face and face two.” Others have been taken to Yei; moreover ‘Windle Trust’ was playing huge role conducting training within the state.
The state is under strategic plans to constructing more schools.
“Each and very county shall be given one primary and one secondary,” he said.
The government and non-governmental organizations were facilitating those programs in order to equip them with basic knowledge so that they will be able to teach children with essential teaching abilities.
The nation is happy since she got independence on July 9th. He appealed to the government to schedule common syllabus for possible learning.
Unity state was never performing better like this, compared to previous years. “Under my ministry, I congratulate Kiir and the people of South Sudan for courage amidst difficulties went through,” the minister concluded.

According to the statement released by the minister to The Citizen reporter in his office, in distinct interview; he said Goss delegated the team for satisfactory assessment on the war crimes in Abyei and South Kordofan.
Ruei said, “we have not yet obtained clear picture of both disputed areas, and soon humanitarian organizations will automatically intervene when the delegates shall return with full evidences.”
The mandated team should have to conduct further investigations first and foremost on human rights violation by the Northern government and he did not specify when the humanitarian body shall return.
Although Northern government normally denies regular attacks on innocent civilians in oil rich region, investigations are going on unabated.
“NCP denies atrocities fundamentally and continuously committed and accomplished genocides since 1955,” he alleged.
The government of South had already intervened, delivering services of the relief food, tents and other items to the internally displaced persons in both effected areas. The international non-governmental organizations concerned have their eyebrows raised.
“Our intervention as humanitarian agency is to assist vulnerable people,” he illustrated.

Students Union Delegates call GOSS for Funds Relocation.
By Nyak Simon Lieth
President of South Sudan students union Mr. Thon chagai leading union delegates comprising vice president, minister for external affairs, parliamentary deputy speaker and three other officials urged the government to legitimately fund relocation of union projects.
According to president’s statement, on interviews with citizen reporters, he outlined two projects basically anticipating funding opportunity from the government.
“Our main purpose of representing our vision is the funding opportunity from the government of South Sudan. The union delegates represented these projects that facilitate the youth conference for the end of year under the theme: The way forward for the youth,” he said.
Funding issue was the major challenge experienced by union since the government had been giving one time support for the last triple of years.
President further explained, since union aims at students’ voice and unity where we are working in collaboration with various students in Kenya, Ethiopia and western countries; we urge the government
for consideration towards our project.
The union played pivotal role by empowering vulnerable students who have no support elsewhere. Mr. Chagai alleged the current policy of ministry of high education on what he term as “one time support and
failure to sponsor 2010 intake of university students, rather supporting the local investors.
“It is extremely embarrassing if students are kept at home; when they are not going to East Africa. Our youth were loitering on the streets regularly due to lack of employment,” Chagai stressed.
Students annually graduated, yet ending up jobless. The government and international non governmental organizations developed negative attitude by ignoring these Southerners and only believed in
mere foreigners.
People were employed according to what he described as “tribalism and nepotism” not work competence.
Mr. Thon pointed out, my union works on the unity and welfare of the students. He urged the control government and states governors to allow the undergraduate and researchers to teach voluntarily
especially in secondary and primary schools as part of their intensive work researches.
“Student doesn’t need money. Appreciation can depend on you. The new nation has no qualified teachers for educational capacity building. We were eager to upgrade children, but the government was rarely recognizing us,” he complained.
Thon urged the government of South Sudan to embark accountability and transparency in new nation; which will launch on 9th of July.
“If the nation achieves independence with tribalism and nepotism; such political propaganda will take us nowhere,” he criticized.
He congratulated the hard work and essential governance by the government within the six years interim period.
“It was your commitment. If you did not make it; South Sudan could have been turned elsewhere,” he explained.
Mr. Thon urged his fellow South Sudanese to maintain peace until 9th July. “Although Abyei people are suffering, dialogue shall be used as our main tool to normalize such human violations,” he stressed.
Unity state clashes are part of Abyei that needs huge intervention. Therefore government should be the solution in any circumstance the nation encounters.
Mr. President also said, students are facing many problems in Uganda.
Therefore he called upon the government intervention; to reach bilateral dialogue with Uganda government on students’ torture and in and out visa charging with constant fifty dollars on the way.
He said, South Sudan students are now contributing a lot to Uganda economic growth, but Ugandans don’t appreciate.
“Development sectors of sure state project aiming with theme of “ways forward” for the youth and
behavioral changes, health and sensitization of awareness to students and returnees, is our main objective,” the parliamentary speaker, Haak Madol added. “We are making HIV and AIDS awareness in Diaspora in order for students to protect themselves from such incurable disease.”
Haak comments, the government is supreme to reach any solution because there is need for justice and democracy in the new-born country.
He acknowledged individualism on reconciliation and memorandum of understanding in those controversial clashes. The union condemns the rebellion of George Athor and Peter Gatdet risking the lives of innocent citizens.
Minister for students’ affairs, Stephen Lubang, urged the whole nation to keep on praying for the issue of Abyei and other areas dominated by militia groups.

The perpetrators who harassed the student were operating in police base adjacent to Nyakuron cultural centre and Juba university computers lab of science
and technology.
Denis Khanis Joseph, erudite: Jonglei national secondary school in
Juba, disclosed his harm and torturing to the citizen, that the student has wounds on his face and arm. He was describing the situation as “public frustration.”
He said, “Human right is not observable, torturing like this can automatically cause a trauma, as soon as his final examination kickoff comes November. Why do our police fail to respect students’ dignity?”
This is harmful torturing that can contribute towards failure in exams.
He complimented, policemen had tortured him because he attempted to
chase one of his fellow South Sudanese, a business lady called Nura
Abdullah, who rented his house as a local restaurant with three
hundred Sudanese pounds (300 SDG) per month. Nura embarrassed him; as an
uncooperative business person who encourages alcoholism in privileged
business restaurant where he grantee her to operate.
Denis narrated: he used to advise women to get rid of shish and
alcoholism which always brings internal issues between them and the
police. The policemen eventually came drunk until they totally and perhaps anonymously emerged with puzzling criminality against him.
He noted when that woman violated to implementation of the compromised rules;
after couple of months, he decided to let Nura go. This was due to her
indiscipline against his rules and regulations of not keeping the
peaceful atmosphere between her customers and the ownership.
Joseph accused the police, “As the main organ of human right abuses
and manipulates the rights of the citizens, it is not applicable to public
finger.”
He appealed to the government ofSouth Sudan , to employ literate
police who could be able to read the amendment of national laws to
respect the nation’s dignity and sustenance of individual principles. He
further condemned the police, not to be influential and interfere
with civilian affairs.
Khanis reiterated any police who doesn’t know their roles, while
serving the citizens, is great lost to the new nation which is to be
born nevertheless. According to Khanis, Police are important people with accountabilities in the government. They are supposed to follow up the right procedures,
maintain laws and order and protect citizens’ rights not
harassment.
He argued government to enhance police capacity building in order for
them to understand their roles in public services. This is viewed that abuse of human
rights can simply cause tribalism, injustice and rare democracy.

"Our resources: significant if we know how to use them"
Minister's take on the utilization of internal resources:
Nyak Simon Lieth: Juba, South Sudan
The minister for Animals and fisheries in the government of South Sudan, Hon. Martha Nyalok Tiong Gatluak analyzed the initiative for work progress in her ministry in 2010 up to 2011.
"My ministry had sacrificed working extraordinarily
preservation. We are fighting natural poverty."
The minister advanced that the government has valued
minerals in order for South Sudanese to invest in them moreover, benefiting from these privileges
The aim of the ministry is to empower South Sudan communities with good services. She expressed this ministerial vision, while speaking on third May, last week to, “The Citizen” newspaper-Journalist in her office in Gudele Estate approximately three kilometers away from Juba main ministries.
“Our veterinaries were eventually working well treating the animals and fisheries in River Nile for better utility by South Sudan citizens,” she explained.
She spoke out animals served South Sudanese during poverty plight in two decades civil war. These people are said to have been depending on agriculture. These referred to are the indigenous communities residing both in rural and urban centers who should get use of resources even in the urban centers.
No pasteurized and powdered milk, or caned fish is got produced in South Sudan.
Business people among which are, the South Sudanese import pasteurized and powdered milk as well as caned fish among other commodities since the birth of Comprehensive Peace Agreement, “C.P.A,” signed in Naivasha, Kenya in 2005.
“Now we are no longer encouraging people to continue importing goods from other countries. We should not buy from countries such as Kenya, Uganda, Republic of Congo, “D.R.C” etcetera.” She said.
She argued some more, the government of South Sudan should precisely mobilize its citizens to focus on their gifts, example being fisheries along the Nile.
“Our resources are the most significant if we know how to use them rather than wasting importing resources from neighboring countries,” she cried out.
Her ministry shall soon establish a conducive marketing environment for butchers in the entire South Sudan.
“These days, cattle shall not be slaughtered any how; whereas fisheries shouldn't be manipulated randomly.” she stressed. “We will associate all the activities and sustain an attractive atmosphere to the foreigners.”
The ministry at the moment has no completed implementation of scheduled strategies and planning due to lack of money. Although the ministry had experienced some impressive challenges, within mean time everything will be perfect after declaration of independence.
She said, they are requesting monopolizing of international non governmental Organizations operating in South Sudan, to enhance setting up of factories for liaising team to work as empowerment of the ministry.
Martha called upon all the citizens to unite with common harmony so that the government of South Sudan will be able to tackle obstacles; and achieve self determination. She condemned criticism and political ideologies applied by the civilians against the government. “There is a need for your coming together, and deserve the dignity and interests of the new nation,” she concluded.
Her target is to let South Sudanese eschew tribal clashes since they had plebiscite overwhelmingly during referendum to accomplish the broken vision during devastation propaganda.
