Kiir appoints Dr. Barnaba Marial, as Special Envoy and Presidential Advisor.

By
( The Ways Daily )-South Sudan President Salva Kiir Mayardit has issued a new presidential order, appointing  Dr. Barnaba Marial, as Special Envoy and Presidential Advisor.  South Sudan's President Salva Kiir Mayardit has appointed Dr. Barnaba Marial Benjamin, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and International cooperation, as Special Envoy and Presidential Advisor. Dr. Barnaba Marial was fired in early 2016 shortly after referring to a prominent academic scholar, Luka Biong Deng as a Sudanese citizen, a controversial comment which sparked outrage among the public and subsequently led to his dismissal a few days later.

By
(The Ways Daily) -On World Humanitarian Day, the Humanitarian Coordinator in South Sudan, Alain Noudéhou, said more needs to be done to address the risks faced by women humanitarians and combat the pre-existing inequalities and discrimination that are reinforced by conflict and violence, leading to unique risks for women and girls. Mr. Noudéhou said: “I want to highlight the strength of women humanitarians, and their perseverance against all the odds.

We therefore need to do more at all levels to improve their working environment and address the challenges faced by women humanitarians. During my two year-tenure in South Sudan as Humanitarian Coordinator, I have seen the work that women humanitarians do – from the grassroots to the highest levels of coordination
