October 23,2021—The Union of Journalists of South Sudan condemns the government of Western Bahr El-Ghazal State for the restriction imposed on government officials not to speak to media.

In a statement seen by Nyamilepedia, Oyet Patrick Charles, the President of Union of Journalists of South Sudan condemns the order of Deputy Governor and termed it as ” violation of the constitutional rights of the state officials.
The UJOSS urges the Deputy Governor to renounce his order and make the officials exercise their constitutional rights to freedom of press and expression.
“The Union of Journalists of South Sudan (UJOSS) is dismayed by the developments in Western Bahr El-Ghazal State in which the office of the Deputy Governor issued a statement banning all state constitutional post holders except the governor and Deputy Governor from giving statements or being interviewed by journalists.
” UJOSS condemns this ban and demands that the office of the Deputy Governor of Western Bahr el Ghazal State withdraws the ban “, the UJOSS president Charles stated in a statement.
According to Charles, the ban is a violation of Article 24 of the South Sudan Transitional Constitution 2011, as amended (Right to Freedom of Press and Expression).

Mr. Oyet Patrick Charles, is not a journalist nor is he a South Sudanese. He is just a former LRA low life from Northern Uganda.
Fellows, these criminals who used by CIA, MI6 and Mosad operatives posing journalists and try to work with South Sudanese journalists. Fellows, South Sudan is a country of angry people. If are caught, then you will be killed like former US criminal who was killed in Yei in 2016.
We are not playing with you fellows. This is the US and her allies always, the CIA always coerced even their well trained to ghost write articles or stories against the country the corporate America or Europe want to regime change that ‘targeted countr[ies)’ and the dirty game behind all those cheap and dirty intrigues are to mainly ‘alter the perception of the citizenry of those towards the US and her outrageous propaganda machine.
The US, the UK and their evil juus (so-called israel) attack dog are most propagators of ‘fake news on the internet’.
All media in US, the UK, Canada and others are own by big corporation and multinationals. Many people in the US, the UK and others, have been brainwashed. But some of them even frustrated that what they spewed out on the BBC, CNN and other channels are not facts, but what the corporations want them to watch or listen or read.
And when some fed up people turn t social media. Then they complain that so-called media is full of Biles. That is what you get you live parallel universe than the rest.
Low lives like Mr. Barack Hussein Obama was cheer led by social media in 2007 and 2013, that is he was a social media survey. And ten Arab spring was also considered a social media game media gamechanger.
And when it came to 2016, Mrs. Clinton lost the US elections to Donald Trump, the media screamed that the Russian stole their elections.
Can you fellows what I am trying to drive? It is always somebody fault ANGLO-AMERICA empire. Even us here in South Sudan. Our Nuers always blame their lawlessness on the Jaaangs/Muonyjaangs/Jenges/Jenges, Mr. Slva Kiir, Jieng council of elders, unknown culprits or blame the weather.
Sometimes you have man up and look at yourself in mirror. Before pointing fingers on others. As for here in South Sudan. we have found our enemies and they are going a very heavy price.
The most racists people on this planet earth are not even white Americans, us>>>
