(315)

Talk of Juba is a South Sudanese nonprofit youth media organisation that aims to inform and educate South Sudan citizens of today and tomorrow. We provide context, analysis and multiple perspectives on world news, politics, economics, business and culture. We have a crowdsourced journalism model that combines a wide funnel with a strong filter. This means that while anyone can write for us, every

article we publish has to meet our editorial guidelines. We have contributors from all over the country, including academics and eminent professionals, journalists and students. Our audience is global and Google tells us that it comes from more than 30 countries or territories.

2: What do we do? Our focus is on issues that really matter to South Sudan, be it environmental challenges or scientific innovations, economic trends or political developments, humanitarian crises or social movements. We publish a unique “360°” analysis that delves deep into an issue. It places the topic in context and then elicits many views on it. Our premise is that everyone has a bias and all of us have blindsides, but when we come together, we have a better approximation of the truth. Our mission is to inform and to educate. Therefore, we produce in-depth reports, publications and videos on various issues. Our reports and publications are meant for the public and are of particular use to policy analysts, business professionals and students. We send our editors to organise discussions and give lectures in schools, colleges and universities around South Sudan.

The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) mourns the passing of Cde. Bona Malwal Madut Ring, a respected veteran politician and devoted member of the SPLM. Elder Malwal was a courageous revolutionary who played a key role in the liberation struggle, fully supporting the SPLM’s fight for freedom and independence. Throughout his life, he served South Sudan as a minister of Culture and Information, a pioneering journalist, and a strong advocate for the country’s self-determination and eventual independence.
Cde. Bona Malwal remained a committed and selfless freedom fighter until his last breath, firmly believing in the SPLM’s vision and goals. His death leaves a significant gap in South Sudan’s political and advisory spheres during a critical time of nation building. The SPLM expresses deep sorrow over his loss and prays for his soul to rest in eternal peace.
