JUBA – Eye Radio has been urged by a group of South Sudan young intellectuals both in the country and abroad to apologize to the Nuer people for what they said was a “reckless” reporting on the reasons which led to fighting among IDPs in Juba POCs over the weekend.

On Sunday, the Eye Radio reported that “Three-day fighting amongst IDPs allegedly over a stolen memory card has left 175 wounded at the Protection of Civilians site located at the UN House in Juba.”

The report quoted a Church leader whom many inside the protection of civilian’s site said was not known to them and that the radio management was making up a narrative that is not the real problem.

“Radio station is making up a story so that they get readers for the hottest news,” Simon Kuol, an internally displaced person and student at the University of Juba told Sudans Post from Juba this afternoon.

“This is not true; the issue is not about a memory card. It was about a lady who was found standing with a man which always can lead to violence in the south Sudanese culture,” Kuol said.

Odingo Kueth Nyaseri, a member of South Sudan youth organization in Kenya demanded that Eye radio apologizes for misleading the  public on the reasons which led to the fighting in Juba UN protection of civilians’ site.

“I’m calling on Eye Radio board of management to immediately apologize and dismiss their recent reckless report on their page regarding the gone dispute of IDPs that lasted for duration of three days,” Kueth said.

He accused the Eye Radio of copying a false story from a South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) journalist Garang John who is known for hate speech and has been ridiculing those who have been seeking protection from the UN mission in the country.

“The fighting wasn’t about memory card as circulated and propagated by Garang John and Eye Radio in particular. They (Eye Radio) could have gone to the ground where the incident occurred in order to confirm the root causes and right information concerning the clash that lasted for three days instead of defending on inaccurate hearsays spread by senior experts of propaganda,” Kueth said.
