The Government of South Sudan has Offered $40,000 Cash Bounty for Information Leading to the Arrest of Gangs Terrorising Travellers Along Koboko-Yei-Juba Road.

Police in South Sudan have offered cash reward for information leading to the arrest of the mysterious gangs attacking Kenyan and Ugandan drivers on its highways.

In a notice, the police service said it is seeking information on the whereabouts of the bandits behind the numerous road ambushes and kidnappings on major highways linking Juba to key towns in the country.

“This is to inform the general public that police is looking for the following people seen in the picture below, with help for their arrest, police is putting up Sh2 million South Sudan Pounds ($40,000) to anyone who will give information that will lead to their arrest,” the notice circulated on Saturday reads.

“These groups have been involved in kidnapping people, torturing, maiming and killing of the relatives of victims who failed to pay ransom. Juba-Yei road, Juba-Terekeka road, Juba-Kejo Keji and Juba-Mundri road have been most affected.”

Last month, two Kenyan truck drivers were killed and two others went missing after they were ambushed on the highway.

Kenya Drivers Association, the lobby of long haul drivers, said six of their members had been killed on South Sudan’s highways this year alone. A Ugandan lobby group claimed a member had been clobbered in South Sudan and was in a coma.

In April, eight people were kidnapped on the Juba-Terekeka road.

Authorities in Juba did not specify whether it is one group involved in these attacks or mote. Reports say the victims were set free after their families paid ransom.

In the recent past, transporters have threatened to suspend deliver of goods to South Sudan, which will increase the prices of commodities.

Last month, the Kenyan Embassy in South Sudan advised drivers not to use targeted highways.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

South Sudan’s prevalence of armed groups following years of civil war means that any gang can assemble arms and engage in criminal activities.

The country’s government of national unity is running behind schedule in mopping up arms and unifying the army.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda. I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know. It got me totally messed up. This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood. He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations. His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion. So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe? Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly. After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.
