Jok Madut Jok, a founding member of the institute said the government has not yet informed them on why the think tank was closed and said several members were arrested along with the managing director.
“The government of South Sudan has this morning gotten nervous & closed down the Sudd Institute and arrested our colleagues, including Managing Director, Dr Augustino Ting Mayai,” Madut said.
Madut condemned the government action and urged for the immediate release of the arrested researchers and said the arrest highlight the government failure to respect the freedom of expression provided for in the transitional constitution of South Sudan.
“This is now a potential breaking point, when the government becomes so nervous as to round up its critics. Nothing can be more telling of the lack of confidence in the South Sudan leadership than their government resorting to arrests, intimidation and snuffing out constitutionally protected rights of citizens,” he added.
“This cannot help the government; it can only reveal its true colours as automatic. We condemn these actions and demand the release of our colleagues, unless charged and brought before a judge!”
“BREAKING | National Security shuts down Sudd Institute, arrests managing director, others”
I for one wouldn’t be advocating for shutting down of these so-called ‘think-tanks or some shadowy civil society groups’ Some of them are doing some honest jobs, but a lot of them [ these so-called ‘think-tanks or some shadowy civil society groups] are more of ‘anarchists or provocateurs’. If The NSS men/women were to be doing a service to South Sudan peace and stability. They should first of all find out as to who fund or financed these ‘so-called ‘think-tanks or some shadowy civil society groups’. And their objectives and interests in South Sudan.
And of course, their foreign financiers would immediately poke their usual dirty long noses and necks out the woods and scream at the top of their usual lungs that South Sudan is fast becoming an autocrat country’ and that is it ‘stifling civil societies and democracy’.
If you tell the truths, to bunch of our so-called PhD doctors, that there is no one on this planet earth who doesn’t like democracy. In fact, here in South Sudan, we are most ‘egalitarian people and the people who like to speak their mind than the so-called democracies in the US, the UK, Canada and others’. In fact, Canada, Germany, France and the Nordic countries are where you would find their citizens telling their leaders or authorities to go and f-ck themselves with trying to control them.
In the US, the UK and others, their governments ‘monitor their citizens 24/7 ‘through mobile phone records, credit cards, Visa cards, QR scans, visit to doctors, supermarkets, car licenses or passports et al’ NSA, GHCQ and of course, more recently, NSO, the Pegasus software apps. Which is secretly attached to a targeted phone by a some nasty mole somewhere with some sinister intent against his/her targets.
NSO and pegasus software have been around for a long time. I for, one had been ‘stalked by these moles for over 8 years, from Monetreal, Canada, to Sydney, Australia and here in South Sudan. Many people in the US or Western Europe and some of their allies. Have been shortchanged, they have been brained washed that they are living in democracies, by their complying mass media propaganda machines, while their monsters they often called leaders are guarding them into a most dangerous and autocratic world order. And they world later wake like spoke birds when their monsters show them their true colors.
Well, some South Sudanese in the know, wouldn’t lectured about what these abbreviations really are? The CIA, FBI, NSA, NSO, MIG, GHCQ, KGB, phrases like national security interests and secret societies of
1. The Bilderberg Group (the who is who in Tech world)
2. Council on Foreign Relations (The US department in other word, CIA, Mosad, Assassins, MI6 et al)
3. The Trilateral Commission (the US, Western Europe and Japan)
4. Skull and Bones
5. The Illuminati
6. The Society of Jesuits (the most dangerous and the most evilest)
7. The Committee of 300 (Former presidents, prime ministers and all)
8. The Knights Templar
9. The Elders of Rome
10. The TRIAD
11. The UNSC and the UN.
