Ever heard of the "manosphere"? 🤔

It’s a growing corner of the digital world that promotes narrow views of masculinity—often at the expense of #GenderEquality.

Too much power in 1 pair of hands isn’t just dangerous, it’s disastrous. Decrees with zero vetting and zero accountability have bred a culture of absolute power & impunity. And the SSBC 8 o’clock news? It's not news, it's a national anxiety attack. Who’s in? Who’s out? 🤷🏿‍♀️

President Salva Kiir on Wednesday relieved Chief Justice of the Judiciary of South Sudan, Justice Chan Reec Madut, and Deputy Chief Justice, Dr. John Gatwech Lul. #ssox https://t.co/eBU9CWLVHI

Another short-term fix. Why spend $130M to import electricity instead of investing in our own hydroelectric dams? South Sudan has vast water resources. we need sustainable, sovereign solutions, not dependency! #SSOX

[Eye Radio @EyeRadioJuba]

#SouthSudan has secured a $130 million grant through the Nile Basin Initiative to import electricity from Uganda, a major step toward addressing the country’s chronic energy shortage, a government official has said - #SSOX https://t.co/AlYm0a9kEs

Sigh....!!!

Vice President Taban Deng Gai, who also chairs the Infrastructure Cluster, has proposed the use of a firing squad to combat rampant corruption, warning that continued mismanagement could lead to the collapse of key national institutions - #SouthSudan #SSOX https://t.co/tRvwAIeanQ

Professor Jok Madut Jok, a prominent South Sudanese political analyst and professor of anthropology at Syracuse University in the United States, has warned that South Sudan is teet... https://t.co/WamB0BAu8Z

Justifying the killing of civilians in war zones or so-called "enemy zones" is a blatant violation of Int. Humanitarian Law (IHL). The laws of war explicitly protect civilians, meaning where they are located does not change their protected status. Targeting them is a war crime!

[Paleki Ayang @PalekiAyang]

Abducting activists & opposition figures across borders is a blatant violation of human rights & an attack on regional stability. This must stop! Governments can not trample on basic freedoms with impunity. CSOs must unite to resist this repression. #StopAbductions #EastAfrica

May this be the time when we seriously move away from oil and invest in other sectors 🤷🏿‍♀️🤔🤦🏿‍♀️

A new World Bank assessment on South Sudan’s renewable resources has found that the country’s fisheries, forestry, and wildlife can generate more than a billion US dollars annually from investments if properly managed. #SSOX #SouthSudan https://t.co/dA4WG10rSz

@IreneLasu VPN is the answer 🤷🏿‍♀️

Blocking all social media sites for 90 days raises serious concerns about freedom of expression and access to information. How does restricting platforms help address violence or protect vulnerable groups? #SSOT #DigitalRights #FreedomOfExpression

[Paleki Ayang @PalekiAyang]

Uncomfortable conversations are necessary because the truth is rarely easy. Without them, atrocities persist. Yes, I condemn attacks on innocent lives, but silencing oppressed voices is equally unacceptable. Justice demands dialogue, not suppression. #SpeakTruth #JusticeForAll

[Paleki Ayang @PalekiAyang]

@EyeRadioJuba This is actually disappointing, and their silence is defending!!!

[Paleki Ayang @PalekiAyang]

At the moment... I am feeling many mixed things. Anger, sadness, shock, rage, confusion, and hurt.
The dehumanizing of South Sudanese in Medani is unacceptable. Justice must prevail! #JusticeforMedaniVictims

[Paleki Ayang @PalekiAyang]

@Married2_Coffee I get that, but can one be a victim of abuse and still be called out for internalized misogyny? This societal conditioning is what perpetuates harmful narratives that devalue unmarried or divorced women. Sigh ... 😕

[Paleki Ayang @PalekiAyang]

@KontyChol @WaniMichael57 The minimum age of marriage is the legal age at which someone can marry, often set to protect against child marriage. The age of sexual consent is the age at which someone can legally agree to sexual activity. Both are key to safeguarding rights, but they serve different purposes

[Paleki Ayang @PalekiAyang]

How? Why? It's been 1 year, 12 months w/out salaries. SSD’s civil servants tirelessly hold the nation 2gther while enduring unbearable hardship. How much longer must their sacrifices go unacknowledged? This is not just neglect, it’s a profound injustice. #SSOT

The Council of Ministers has approved over $28 million for the establishment and operation of the country’s airspace monitoring centre, which has historically been under Sudan’s control - #SouthSudan #SSOX https://t.co/2S7sBoH6mz
