Jacob Jiel Akol about an hour ago · I received the following information from Juba this morning: FYI, two newspapers, Al-maugif and The Juba Monitor have so far been ceased by the security because of publishing articles on federalism. Al-maugif an Arabic newspaper which is known by its original name Al-masier were ceased on Monday 30th while The Juba Monitor were ceased this morning. Having been receiving phone calls from strange individuals purporting to work for the security giving verbal directives to Editors to stop publishing articles on federalism, Editors came together on Monday 30th and wrote a letter to the Information Minister Michael Makuei informing him about the threats and asking him whether this directive from the security is part of the government policy. Makuei, in a press conference yesterday denied the governments hand in this directive from the security, saying whoever is calling these Editors is an enemy of the government. Suppose we accept Minister Makueis assertion that whoever is calling these editors is an enemy of the government, who, then are these people seizing publications mentioned above because of publishing articles on federalism? Are they security personnel or enemies of the state. If they are enemies of the state and not security personnel, where are the security personnel as enemies of the state are undermining the government openly by seizing publications? Please Minister Makuei, lets be serious just for a bit! Are the state security officers the ones you are talking about? If so, who is running the country, government or security?
