Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a big racing game player. I am curious about the gaming market in South Sudan and I have asked these questions on many subreddits, simply because I just want to learn about different gaming cultures around the world. My questions are:

What is more popular in South Sudan? PC or Console?

What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?

What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s?

What do racing game fans in South Sudan play today?-(I know it’s not the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)

  Thanks for your answers!!!!

It's almost laughable how we've come to accept President Salva Kiir's unchecked authority as "the new normal." Whether it’s firing a governor one day and appointing another the next, or replacing the head of the National Security Service (NSS) without much explanation, this practice has become a disturbing hallmark of Kiir’s leadership.

Take this latest development with Akol Koor and Warrap State as an example. Can anyone even remember who the governor was last week? Akol Koor's firing from NSS, his appointment and subsequent removal/revocation, and the sudden replacement barely even registers in public discourse anymore. This revolving door of leadership extends across the board—from state governors to security chiefs; national ministers to state/city commissioners. Kiir wields his power to hire and fire with little accountability or transparency, reshuffling people like pawns on a chessboard.

The real tragedy? Our focus has shifted from important issues. The economy is tanking. Corruption is rampant. Inflation is squeezing the life out of ordinary citizens. Yet, instead of addressing these critical matters, we’re left watching a political game where officials are constantly changed while our problems remain the same—or get worse.

What’s even more worrying is how normal all this feels now. Kiir’s decisions often go unquestioned, and the sheer power he seems to have is rarely challenged. We are witnessing a slow erosion of any meaningful checks and balances. The South Sudanese Constitution appears more like a suggestion than a framework of governance, allowing the president to act as if he's untouchable.

Should we really accept this? When does our focus shift back to the real issues affecting the country? South Sudan deserves better than endless political theater while the actual governance of the nation falls apart.

I just saw this post on Hot in juba and i was disgusted. Now i have met dinka guys that are chill asf and i have also met those that will want to fight you just because you looked at him and said nothing. Whenever i ask my friends they be like its people from this state or that state and as a non dinka we are told they are all the same. So now i wanna know who is spoiling the image of south sudanese everywhere be it in Australia or east africa ?

The head of National Security has be sacked

Hello, I’m currently doing a project in college about South Sudan. I would appreciate it if someone explains the current situation right now and what’s causing the humanitarian crisis. Thanks!

Hva er situasjonen i Sør-Sudan i dag? Sør-Sudan løsrev seg fra Sudan og ble opprettet i 2011. Landet grenser til Sudan, Etiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Den demokratiske republikken Kongo og Den sentralafrikanske republikk. I 2013 brøt det ut en svært voldelig borgerkrig som rammet landet hardt. Siden har det brutt ut kamper mellom rivaliserende grupper og væpnede grupper. Landet har rundt 11 millioner innbyggere, og over halvparten har ikke tilgang til god nok helsehjelp.

De siste årene har mange sivile blitt utsatt for vold og angrep, og millioner har blitt tvunget på flukt. Mange lever i avsidesliggende områder med begrenset tilgang til helsehjelp. Landet blir også hvert år rammet av flom som fører titusener av mennesker på flukt og skaper store behov.

Ifølge FN er 2,3 millioner internt fordrevet i Sør-Sudan (per juli 2023) og 2,4 millioner har flyktet fra Sør-Sudan (per juni 2023). Det er store helsebehov, og Leger Uten Grenser har omfattende helseprosjekter en rekke steder i landet. Ikke-statlige organisasjoner som Leger Uten Grenser står for mesteparten av den medisinske hjelpen i Sør-Sudan.

In the early hours of Tuesday, September 24, 2024, a tragic ambush occurred on the Juba-Nimule Highway at Kube in Lokiliri Payam, targeting a Bebeto Coaches bus. The attack, which claimed the life of one civilian, was swiftly blamed on the National Salvation Front (NAS) by the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) spokesperson, Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai. The NAS leadership, however, firmly denies any involvement in the ambush, describing the claims as baseless propaganda.

In an official press statement released today, NAS condemned the false accusations, asserting that Maj. Gen. Lul Ruai’s statement is nothing more than a diversionary tactic to cover up the government’s growing security failures.

20240925 NAS Press Release On the Juba-Nimule Road Ambush

“The SSPDF’s inability to provide security across South Sudan is directly linked to the fact that soldiers have not been paid for over 21 months,” Suba Samuel, NAS Spokesman stated, highlighting the dire state of security outside the confines of J1, the official residence of President Salva Kiir.

NAS also extended its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased passenger and expressed sympathy for those affected by the attack. “We strongly condemn this senseless act of violence targeting innocent civilians,” the statement read.

In a broader context, NAS described the SSPDF’s accusation as a deliberate attempt by the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) to distract from a growing legitimacy crisis. “The regime is now illegitimate and unconstitutional,” Suba Samuel pointed out, accusing the government of orchestrating the ambush as part of a pattern of staged attacks to deflect attention from their failures. The statement also referred to previous incidents, such as the killing of two Catholic nuns on the same highway, which NAS said were orchestrated by government operatives.

“NAS remains steadfast in its revolutionary ideals and adheres strictly to the rule of engagement as outlined in the NAS Army Basic Code of Conduct, the international humanitarian law, and the laws of armed conflict,” the group declared. Despite the government’s continuous false allegations, NAS reiterated its commitment to resolving the conflict through peaceful dialogue and negotiation. However, the group reserved its right to self-defense against any aggression.

As tensions continue to rise in South Sudan, the leadership of NAS calls on both regional and international communities to remain vigilant and not to be swayed by the government’s desperate attempts to solicit sympathy through fabricated threats.

For now, NAS remains committed to the struggle for the liberation of South Sudan, while condemning the violence and calling for a genuine resolution to the nation’s ongoing conflict.

As a concerned citizen, I cannot remain silent in the face of how the recent tragic ambush on the Juba-Nimule road is being irresponsibly reported by various media outlets. The integrity of journalism lies in the pursuit of truth, fact-checking, and presenting accurate narratives to the public—values that were shamefully absent in the coverage of this incident.

Instead of taking the time to investigate and verify the information presented, journalists have lazily parroted the narrative spun by the SSPDF, accusing the National Salvation Front (NAS) without any supporting evidence. Had they committed themselves to the principles of good journalism, they would have uncovered a very different version of events, one grounded in the facts relayed by those directly impacted.

One version that has been collaborated by various witnesses goes as follows: armed robbers appeared in front of the bus and opened fire, aiming at the conductor seated in the front. Their apparent intention was to stop the bus by targeting the driver. Once the vehicle came to a halt, the assailants boarded the bus, deliberately picked out six individuals, and demanded specific luggage that they believed was on board. When they failed to retrieve this luggage, they resorted to setting the bus on fire. Contrary to the official story, the individual who was wounded received medical attention, and the bullet was successfully removed.

Where was the fact-checking? Where were the probing questions? Instead, the media acted as a mouthpiece for the SSPDF, failing in their duty to hold power to account and provide the public with the full truth. What was the name of the foreign national who was killed? What package were the culprits looking for and who were the six individuals who were picked out?

This negligence not only does a disservice to those directly affected by the attack but also undermines the trust citizens place in the press.

Equally concerning is the role of the SSPDF in spreading these unfounded claims, politicising unrelated issues and pointing fingers at others without evidence. The reckless blame-shifting, mud-slinging serves a deeper, more troubling agenda, one that deflects attention from the army’s complicity or, at the very least, its failure to maintain security along one of the most critical routes in the country.

Instead of addressing their own shortcomings in protecting citizens, the SSPDF has chosen the easier path: crafting a convenient scapegoat. This move distracts from their responsibility and allows them to avoid hard questions about their operational failures. Moreover, this deliberate distortion of facts stokes further tensions, creating a dangerous environment where the truth is sacrificed at the altar of expediency.

As citizens, we must demand better from both our journalists and our army. The press must recommit itself to thorough, evidence-based reporting. The army, on the other hand, must stop shielding itself with lies and take ownership of the security lapses that allow such tragic events to occur.

Hello everyone :)

I am currently trying to cook a dish from South Sudan as part of a project to cook food from every country in the world. The wheel picked South Sudan, so I was thinking of making Kisra or Asida and then some kind of stew.

I have read recipes for Abiyin Doma and Ful Sudani which both sound good, are these authentic dishes? I am specifically looking for dishes which are somewhat unique and a but different from neighboring versions. Do you have any other suggestions for stews?

What is your favourite dish to eat? Are there any customs around eating that might be different from other countries?

So there I am, walking into this shop in Juba, ready to snag myself a refurbished ThinkPad, something practical, something that won’t melt under pressure. I’ve got my $600 budget lined up, only to find they’re selling the same model for $1,400. Seriously? Twice the price for a machine that’s already seen its glory days? I mean, sure, the markup game in Juba is real, but this? Outrageous.

And then, in walks this guy. Not just any guy, a guy who has the audacity to waltz in and casually buy 11 iPhone 16s. ELEVEN. Like he’s picking up snacks at a corner store. And the kicker? He whips out cash. Cold, hard cash, like it’s nothing. Meanwhile, I’m standing there, doing mental gymnastics just trying to justify spending a little over my budget. What’s even more infuriating is that this guy probably doesn’t need even half of those phones. Maybe he’s going to sell them at an even more ridiculous markup, or worse….hand them out like party favors.

And here I am, working hard, looking for a reliable tool to actually get something done. But nope. The world is out here letting guys throw wads of cash at overpriced gadgets while I’m stuck wondering if I should sell a kidney for a ThinkPad! This place…

remember when we had revolutionary leaders across the continent who had a strong sense of responsibility and duty towards their people and had laid-out plans to develop their nations post the colonial era but they started randomly dropping dead lol nothing suspicious happened there ofc.

In all seriousness, may they continue to rest in peace. Tragic that their legacies couldn’t live on. Dr. John Garang, you tried your best and showed us a potential path but alas.

well… can’t say i didn’t see this coming but genuinely disappointing.

According to the president’s press release, the postponement of elections and extension of the transitional period by 2 years is to ensure that the most important goals of 2018’s Revitalised Peace Agreement are met, including: drafting a new constitution, conducting a census (the last census took place in 2008 where there have been reports of sabotage and inaccuracy by the sudanese government) and ensuring the registration of all political parties. These goals should’ve been implemented within the past 2 years so that we would’ve been getting ready for elections by now. However, none of these critical steps were achieved, forcing this transitional period to extend. These steps were necessary to conduct our first elections since independence.

Do you think that this is yet another attempt by the current ruling regime to cling to power?

Juba uses Yakani to pay Kenyan Civil Society to Endorse Tumaini Initiative

 September 5^(th) 2024, Juba

As the Kenyan Tumaini Initiative for peace in South Sudan teeters on the brink of failure and collapse, J1, the State House in Juba, is in a state of panic and its operatives have now gone into overdrive trying to salvage whatever they can from the doomed process. They have been surprised that the J1 project of legitimizing the extension of the term of President Kiir through bringing in opposition politicians has hit the rocks. The latest tools set in use to prop up the faltering Tumaini are some leaders of Kenyan Civil Society Organizations.

I got these images from twitter and was wondering if you have seen this. These youtuber has decried the rant by Rana Alkhear, a Sudanese doctor who has been received by South Sudan, but in an apparent rant or rage, she has said things South Sudan(ese) that are not helpful
