Atong Kuol backs down on 90-day Crawford Review, cites Vice President’s intervention

South Sudan’s Minister of Trade and Industry, Atong Kuol Manyang, has withdrawn her directive ordering a 90-day review of the Crawford Digital system, citing intervention from the Office of the Vice President for Economic Cluster, James Wani Igga.

In a letter issued on Friday, 13 March, the minister said the decision to suspend the review followed guidance from the Vice President, who called for further consultations on the matter.

She explained that her initial decision to order the review was aimed at protecting the ministry and the country’s economy from potential disruption.

“In the interest of the Government of South Sudan and to save the Ministry of Trade and Industry as well as the economy from collapsing, I issued in good faith the 90-day review of Crawford Digital,” she said.

Crawford Digital is a private electronic payment system reportedly owned by individuals connected to powerful figures within the South Sudan government.

Despite withdrawing the directive, Atong said her concerns about the system remain unchanged.

“Digitalisation must be done in a systematic, transparent and accountable manner to avoid disruption of trade and institutional operations, and for the greater good of the people of South Sudan,” she asserted.

Let Us Love Our Country, Atong Kuol Urges South Sudanese

South Sudan’s Minister of Trade and Industry, Atong Kuol Manyang, has urged citizens to love their country and work together to make it a better place for future generations.

Speaking on Thursday at the South Sudan National Bureau of Standards during the reception of the institution’s new Executive Director, Minister Atong said the responsibility of improving the country lies with South Sudanese themselves.

“We need to understand that nobody else will come and change these little things for us,” she said.

She stressed that building a better nation requires collective effort from citizens and institutions alike.

“For our country to be lovable, and for it to be better for our children and the children of our children, it is up to us to make that change and make South Sudan a better place,” she asserted.

The minister also appealed to government institutions to cooperate and work together to strengthen the country and support national leadership.

Atong further encouraged the new Executive Director and staff of the Bureau of Standards to work diligently to ensure that goods imported into the country are safe for consumption.

“This Bureau of Standards is the lifeline of our country. Our lives—all of us, whether young children, pregnant mothers, or anyone else—depend on what you do in this institution,” she said.

South Sudan largely depends on neighboring countries for many food commodities, including fruits, beverages, and some vegetables.

SSPDF Announces Recapture of Akobo, Calls for UNMISS to Return

The South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) spokesperson, Major General L*l Ruai Koang, has announced that government forces have recaptured Akobo town in Jonglei State, which had been under the control of the SPLM-IO for 13 years.

Addressing reporters in Juba on Wednesday, Koang said SSPDF forces entered the town on Tuesday after encountering light resistance from rebel forces along the way.

“So I would like to announce to you that on the 10th, that was yesterday, our gallant forces recaptured Akobo town without resistance,” L*l explained.

He added that more than 50 rebel soldiers and 13 government soldiers were killed during the operation. According to the spokesperson, seven vehicles and several pieces of heavy artillery were also captured from the rebels.

Koang further revealed that the recapture of Akobo enabled the reinstatement of James Kueth Makuach as the Commissioner of Akobo County. Makuach had previously been removed from office by SPLM-IO authorities.

“When we recaptured Akobo, he went with our forces and was escorted to his office, where he officially resumed his duties as the legally appointed commissioner of Akobo County,” L*l said.

Koang stated that the town is now secure and called on civilians who had fled the area to return. He also urged the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and humanitarian organizations to resume their operations in the town.

However, the claims could not be independently verified due to limited access for journalists to the area. Efforts to obtain immediate comment from the SPLM-IO were also unsuccessful.

Speaker Calls on Women to Prioritise Peace

Jemma Nunu Kumba, Speaker of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly, is urging women across South Sudan to prioritise peace in whatever they do.

Speaking during a celebration marking International Women’s Day, organised by Nyan Cit Arialbeek on Sunday, Kumba said women cannot achieve anything without peace.

“We need to work hard to maintain the gains we have made. To maintain those gains, we must have peace in our country,” she said.

South Sudan’s first female speaker noted that women can only see progress and prosperity when there is peace and encouraged them to include peace activities in their programs.

“As we carry out our work at the community level, let us also add peace education as one of the subjects in our programmes. Wherever we go, we have to talk about peace,” she added.

Kumba said that when peace is absent, women risk losing all the progress they have achieved.

She also emphasised the importance of women working side by side with men for the development of the nation.

“Gender issues are not just about women working together with men. They are development issues,” she asserted.

“Without the participation of women in anything, there will be no success,” she concluded.

Burial of Retired Bishop Entangled in Ongoing ECSS Feud

The burial arrangements for the late retired Anglecan Bishop, Right Reverend Nathaniel Garang Anyieth, remain uncertain, eleven days after he passed away in Nairobi, Kenya.

His death has reopened tensions within the Episcopal Church of South Sudan (ECSS) in Jonglei Internal Province, where a more than five-year internal dispute continues to divide church leadership and followers.

On Thursday, the ECSS Provincial Secretary, Peter Garang Deng, announced plans for the reception of the bishop’s remains from Nairobi and a requiem service at All Saints Cathedral scheduled for March 12 and 13 respectively.

However, on Friday, church authorities in Bor under Archbishop Reuben Akurdid, rejected the announced plans, in what appears to be a dispute over the custody of the body and the final burial arrangements of the late bishop.

Members of the Bor community are now split. Some argue that the burial arrangements should be handled entirely by the Akurdid faction, while others believe Bishop Nathaniel, as a national religious figure and a father of faith within the Anglican Communion, should be accorded a national funeral service before he is laid to rest in Bor.

Earlier, Bishop Nathaniel’s family appealed to both sides not to drag church politics into the burial of their late father, stressing that everyone should be allowed to attend the funeral.

The family said they feared a repeat of a similar situation during the burial of Bishop Nathaniel’s wife, when some groups were reportedly prevented from attending the funeral.
