JUBA – The National Media Authority, a government institution tasked with overseeing media operations in South Sudan, has directed Jonglei State authorities to lift, with immediate effects, the illegal suspension of popular Radio Jonglei.

The call came a day after Jonglei State minister of information; John Samuel Manyuon suspended Radio Jonglei 95.9 for allegedly undermining the state leadership.

“Media Authority under its regulatory power and duties do hereby advise your office to lift the suspension order with immediate effect and let Radio Jonglei resume its normal transmission freely without further interferences,” Elijah Alier Kuai, Managing Director of Media Authority said in a letter seen by Sudans Post on Friday.

Alier said Radio Jonglei is community-based radio which is independent of government, political and commercial forces.

“Procedurally, any complain of media violations must be filled with the Media Authority, the regulatory body overseeing the media industry in South Sudan in accordance with Media Authority Act, 2013,” he said.

He cautioned state authorities against interfering with independent editorial policies of Radio Jonglei.

“Furthermore, authorities in Jonglei State are hereby advised to desist from interfering with independent editorial policies of media houses.”

On 24th August 2021, National security shut down the popular Radio Jonglei over claims that the People’s Coalition for Civil Action (PCCA) is using the station to promote anti-government protest plans.

Three journalists including the station’s manager were briefly detained during the operation.

On September 25, 2021, the popular station resumed operations under strict censorship following a month-long shutdown.

    ‘South Sudan media regulator orders lifting of suspension against Radio Jonglei’

    That is not going to happen, Elija Alier Kuai used to work NGOs long time ago. Probably that is where ‘the Sudans post propagandists got his name or on social media——-and to want to his name [Mr. Elijah Alier Kuai] as their devil worshipers, bloodsucking vampires, secret societies, cabals/vermins/parasites/viruses/pests as *their hostages, blackmails or bargaining cards over South Sudan and the South Sudanese people to crawl their evil selves into our country and over our people, in the name UN AGENDA 21, shifted to UN AGENDA 30, UN NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT, GOVERNMENT WITHOUT BORDERS, GOVERNMENT OF HUMANITARIAN AIDS, DONATIONS, PEACEKEEPERS, HUMAN RIGHTS and ALL*

    Mr. Elijah Alier Kuai village, is not very far away from Mr. Abel Alier village—Mac Deng/Baidit. What do you piece of troll are after? Mr. Abel Alier is a superior lawyer.

    Mr. Abel Alier was the one who represented the paramount chiefs here in Bor after they let their boys joined ‘Anyanya one, and they were rounded up by our cloned so-called Arabs of North Sudan, he represented the paramount chiefs in court of law, but the Arabs didn’t want to heed Mr. Abel Alier, warnings not hang the paramount chiefs. The Arabs hanged in Central Bor, in village of Maar, Pakeer, Mr. Majak Agoot. My own grand grand grand uncle was one of the chief who was went and be hanged in Maar. Mr. went and studied law at the university of Kiirtoum (Khartoum),

    Mr. Abel Alier direct Nephew was killed in the battle of Yei in 1997. Superior lawyers, the Jaangs/Muonyjiengs/Jiengs/Jenges/Jongkoths/Dinkas of the Sudan and Egypt have this *cliché, that lawyers, magistrates, police, criminals and judges are the same, but the different is because; ‘the police, the magistrates, lawyers and judges are are licenses criminals’*

    We are the Ancient Egyptians, piece of shits.>>>>>
