The Continental 'Communicating on Labour Migration and Mobility' workshop is underway in Kigali, bringing together journalist leaders, trade unionists and @ILO officials to explore the dynamics of labour migration, reporting strategies and migrant protection frameworks, building on the African Union-supported activity in Dakar, Senegal. Public interest journalism plays a vital role in serving the people. Ready to make a difference! #LabourMigration

Your strong-willed passion for writing human-interest stories in South Sudan for the past five or more years is something I admire. Upon reading the whole story, I noticed that some of the sources exaggerated the marriage through their viewpoints.

[Florence Miettaux @FloMiettaux]

If you haven't seen it yet, here's my latest piece @guardian : in South Sudan, the factual account of how a "historic" traditional wedding turned into a court case over allegations of child marriage. #SouthSudan
