Fire destroys home, millions lost in Eastern Equatoria

A fire has reportedly destroyed a house in Naoyaporu village, Eastern Equatoria State, resulting in the loss of property worth 56 million South Sudanese Pounds and 160,000 US Dollars.

The homeowner claims the blaze was deliberately set by an individual allegedly driven by jealousy over their success.

Local authorities are expected to launch a full investigation into the suspected person.

The fire incident comes amid a national crackdown on unbanked cash.

In May, South Sudan's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) directed security agencies to seize large sums of South Sudanese Pounds (SSP) held outside the formal banking system and arrest individuals involved.

Citing the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Finance Act (2012, amended 2024), Acting FIU Commissioner Dr. Abraham Telar Nicknora ordered individuals and businesses to deposit all SSP with licensed banks.

While the exact threshold for "bulk" cash was not defined, possession of illicit sums is now punishable by up to 10 years in prison or heavy fines.

Economists link the economic crisis to political instability, currency devaluation, and reliance on oil and imports.

What if I told you that one country just discovered $12 TRILLION worth of gold beneath their soil?

Uganda claims they've found over 31 million metric tonnes of gold ore - enough refined gold to exceed everything that's EVER been mined in human history.

We're talking about a discovery that could transform one of the world's poorest countries into an economic superpower overnight. Companies are already investing hundreds of millions, and Uganda's economy could grow by 15% annually.

But here's the twist that has everyone talking:

Mining experts are questioning whether these numbers are even possible. The scale is so unprecedented that many are calling for verification.

So the real question becomes: Did Uganda just hit the geological jackpot of the century, or are we looking at the biggest mining miscalculation in history?

Either way, the whole world is watching.

What do you think, Too good to be true, or the discovery that changes everything?

“Five years ago today, George Floyd was murdered in broad daylight in an unpardonable, inhumane, dehumanizing act by police officer, Derek Chauvin, who nonchalantly pressed his knee into George’s neck for over nine minutes. NINE MINUTES.

I am praying for George’s family, especially for his daughter, Gianna, who is now 11. Gianna’s “Daddy” matters to her.

George’s life didn’t matter to Derek Chauvin. It still doesn’t matter to many today who make excuses for Derek’s brutality and even suggest pardoning the unpardonable.

But George’s life mattered and still matters to millions, who responded to viewing that knee on his neck for nine minutes with protest and efforts for policy change in legislative halls and corporate suites.

There were some positive results until there was what my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., called “white backlash.” In his book, ‘Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?,’ Daddy wrote:

“The step backward has a new name today. It is called the “white backlash.” But the white backlash is nothing new. It is the surfacing of old prejudices, hostilities and ambivalences that have always been there. It was caused neither by the cry of Black Power nor by the unfortunate recent wave of riots in our cities. The white backlash of today is rooted in the same problem that has characterized America ever since the black man landed in chains on the shores of this nation. The white backlash is an expression of the same vacillations, the same search for rationalizations, the same lack of commitment that have always characterized white America on the question of race.”

So, 5 years later, we continue to grapple with racism in this nation and globally. But we will persist in organizing, creating community, and remembering George and so many others who were deemed unworthy to even breathe in America…to even live free or live at all in a nation that convicted indigenous and Black people of being casualties of imperialism and colonialism hundreds of years

Just watch this sequence. Just watch these images, please. Heung-Min Son's tears of joy after winning the first-ever title of his entire professional career. It took 15 years and more than 550 senior matches fighting for this.

He could have left Tottenham for a club constantly fighting for trophies a long time ago, but he stayed. And today football rewarded him with the Europa League. Champion as captain of the club of his life. The circle was complete. The story had a happy ending. Enjoy, Sonaldo.

President Kiir forms committee to investigate high electricity tariffs, Ezra Agreement

President Salva Kiir has established a high-level committee to investigate the soaring electricity tariffs across South Sudan and to scrutinize the terms of the agreement between the government and Ezra Group, the private company operating power supply services in the capital, Juba.

The move comes amid growing public outcry over the cost of electricity and allegations of lack of transparency in the deal signed with Ezra, which has been responsible for generating and distributing power in Juba since 2019.

In a presidential decree read on state television, Kiir tasked the committee with assessing whether the tariffs reflect fair market rates and reviewing the legal and financial frameworks of the agreement with Ezra. The committee is also expected to recommend possible reforms or renegotiations to ensure the provision of affordable and reliable electricity to citizens.

More details on the composition of the committee and its timeframe for submitting findings are coming up soon….

Young Girl Rescued After Being Sold by Her Mother.

In a shocking case, a young girl named Nyalaat, who was believed to be dead, has been found alive. Her mother, Nyalok Ayielic Biong Maming, had declared her deceased in October 2024 but later sold her for $13,000 to a man from the Murle community living in the UNMISS Camp in Pibor.

The mother is now accused of selling her own daughter and lying to the family about her death. The family strongly condemns this act, calling it child trafficking and a serious breach of moral values.

Thanks to the determined efforts of Nyalaat’s maternal uncle, Cdr. Mawiir Deng Deng, and the Pibor Administrative Area Coordinator in Juba, the girl was located and rescued safely. Several suspects, including a broker named John Kaka, have been arrested in connection with the case.

Nyalaat is now safe and in the care of her uncle. The family is demanding that all those involved, especially her mother, be held fully accountable under the law.

They also call on the authorities in Warrap State, Pibor, and the national government to take strong action against child trafficking and to protect children across the country.
