@Muash21 @PROSSOX @DanielGarang9 @K3NYII @AkauJambo @MayangTutk @THUOK_OLOCK @gudelebwoy Nice picture... unfortunately, it is illegal inside #SouthSudan to use the flag that way. At my local bar, the owner was threatened to take down the SS flag...now he has the UG flag instead :(

@akech_andrew @akech_andrew, great job fanning this unfortunate stereotyping flames that Equatorians are 'juju' fellowers...

A few good men...Chol Elijah (@siinchol ) shares a touching story of a different type of 'uncle', the type every #SouthSudan|ese should be 'related' to. #SSOX

[Chol Elijah @siinchol]

One day in early January 2008, I walked into the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning in Juba. I had an application letter and a letter of recommendation from my University confirming that I was on a mandatory industrial internship before I could go to 4th year.

I knew no one at the Ministry, and so after asking around about whom to talk to about my request I was led to the office of Hon. Aggrey Tisa Sabuni who was the Undersecretary. His office was at the Prefabricated complex adjacent to the main ministry building which was under renovation at the time.

He received me warmly and after some introduction, I took out the papers from the envelope and handed him my application. He took his time to study the application and the letter of recommendation from the Kenyan University I was studying in.

He told me that it was the first time a matter like that was brought to the ministry although he told me that a year earlier there was a group of students from a college in Arua who had applied for the internship, but somehow different from my case.

He sent me to the department of Accounts (relevant to my course) and I was handed to a foreign lady consultant who was in charge of the Government Management Information System (Free Balance). I was immediately assigned duties and a desk. Hon. Sabuni recommended that I be given some allowances at the end of the month, SDG 500 (quite an amount that time.)

At the end of my internship, I went back to him to thank him and informed him that I would be going back to Kenya early May to resume my studies. He gave me some words of encouragement and told me to come back to the Ministry after my studies. He approved some money for my air ticket and some additional allowance on top of my monthly stipend. I will forever be indebted to him.

Today, I wonder if a student seeking internship can even get access to the Ministry of Finance and Planning leave alone being given a chance without someone pulling some ropes.

That experience influenced my perspective about the importance of giving students a chance to intern in institutions which can give them a headstart in their future careers and the importance of giving them some stipends.

If you have access to the Hon. Aggrey Tisa, tell him I am forever grateful. He made me realize my high school dream. Of course later I came back to the Ministry when he was the Minister, under a different arrangement.

Some government officials are professionals and love this country and want a better future for the younger generation.

God bless South Sudan.

@siinchol A wonderful testament of hope as I believe there are still many such men in #SouthSudan. He saw your papers, recommendations & potential and did not care about your name, your dad or your family. I don't even know his tribe, and that is not relevant!

@WaniMichael57 Hate is a strong word and this sounds like hearsay - but to be fair your said 'personal thoughts'. Just can't believe all named would put personal interest in front of national issues - that's all

My brother told he's #tooAfrican! Proud of you my #SouthSudan brother #SSOX

Nation-building in South Sudan: where corruption means someone sold the screws, tribalism ensures no one agrees on what the final product looks like or who should hold the hammer, and illiteracy keeps us from even reading the manual. #SouthSudan #LeadershipCrisis

gali 'SSPDF arrests traffic police..' what constitutional right does SSPDF have to arrest? What about all the extortion by SSPDF at the many checkpoints? #SSOT must wake up and stop praising faults.. bribery is wrong but not SSPDF business #SouthSudan

[Ajhok Ajak Official @ajhoksir]

The traffic officer was arrested by the SSPDF force in Juba for allegedly asking for bribes from transporter, this good but the Military is doing the same thing, taking bribes.
A criminal judging a criminal.

#SouthSudan is like that brand-new phone you were so hyped to get, but d sec u turn it on, d battery’s already at 10%, d screen's cracked, & d charger’s nowhere to be found. Independence was the unboxing video & everything since has been trying to download updates with a 2G conn

Apparently, one #Sudan refugee MD Rana has said things against #SouthSudan as this show says. #SSOX, do you know what's up? Anyone in Juba now?
