Fire Devastates Konyokonyo Market in Juba

A massive fire engulfed the Konyokonyo Market in Juba, South Sudan, on December 18, 2024, destroying businesses and leaving traders in despair. The fire, which broke out late in the evening, spread quickly, reducing shops and stalls to ashes.

The market, a bustling commercial hub in Juba, is home to hundreds of traders who sell goods ranging from food items to clothing and electronics. Preliminary reports suggest that the fire may have been caused by an electrical fault, though investigations are ongoing.

Local authorities and emergency responders were on the scene, but the fire was difficult to control due to the market’s congested layout and limited access for firefighting equipment. Fortunately, no fatalities have been reported, but several individuals sustained minor injuries while trying to salvage their belongings.

Many traders are now counting their losses, with some estimating that goods worth millions of South Sudanese pounds were destroyed. “This market is my life; I don’t know how I will recover from this,” said one distraught trader.

Government officials, including Juba’s Mayor, have visited the site and promised support for the affected traders. Efforts are underway to assess the damage and provide immediate relief to those impacted. Community members are also calling for improved safety measures, including better fire response systems and infrastructure in markets across the city.

As the investigation continues, there is growing concern over the recurring incidents of market fires in South Sudan. This tragedy serves as a wake-up call for better urban planning and disaster preparedness in the country.

South Sudanese Artist Wing Boi Addresses Controversy Over “Am Bless” Collaboration with Tanzanian Star Rayvanny

In a developing story, South Sudanese musician Wing Boi has released an official statement addressing the controversy surrounding his latest track, “Am Bless,” featuring Tanzanian star Rayvanny. The collaboration, intended to highlight Wing Boi’s personal journey of struggle and resilience, has been overshadowed by allegations of copyright disputes and a breakdown in communication between the two artists’ management teams.

According to Wing Boi’s management, the agreement for the collaboration was finalized during a visit to Tanzania in September 2024. Both artists reportedly worked closely on the project, and promotional efforts were planned to ensure a strong release. However, complications arose when Rayvanny uploaded his verse to TikTok ahead of the agreed release date, leading to a copyright claim that resulted in the removal of promotional content tied to the song.

Further tension emerged when Rayvanny requested a last-minute re-recording of his verse on the eve of the official release on November 1, 2024. After internal discussions, Wing Boi’s team opted to proceed with the original track to meet fan expectations and honor the established timeline.

Despite the song’s release, the copyright claim and subsequent deletion of content have cast a shadow over the collaboration. Wing Boi’s management has strongly condemned the situation, stating, “‘Am Bless’ is a true story of Wing Boi’s life and will continue to resonate with fans, whether or not a featured artist is involved.”

Negotiations with Rayvanny’s team are ongoing, with Wing Boi’s camp seeking a resolution that upholds the integrity of the project and respects their artistic vision.

Fans of Wing Boi have expressed overwhelming support, applauding his commitment to sharing authentic stories through music. The artist remains focused on delivering impactful content, undeterred by the challenges.

Stay tuned for further updates as this story unfolds.

President Kiir Urges Strong Commitment within the ISBPresident Salva Kiir Mayardit emphasized the heavy responsibility of national security, directing Lt General Akec Tong Aleu, the newly appointed Director General of the Internal Security Bureau (ISB), to reinforce the NSS in protecting the nation. Aleu succeeds General Akol Koor Kuc, now Governor of Warrap State, as part of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen governance.

The former governor had long devised a plan to initiate cattle raids against neighboring counties in Bentiu. This wicked act, carefully orchestrated over time, was driven by personal ambitions and a desire to create instability within the region. By fostering conflict through these raids, the former governor aimed to consolidate power and maintain control over the political landscape. The consequences of his actions have led to lasting animosity between communities, as well as significant economic and social disruption for those affected. His legacy is now tainted by the violence and suffering that resulted from this deliberate strategy.

09/17/2024

The newly appointed governor's administration has glaringly neglected the practice of diversity and inclusion, creating a government that fails to represent the rich cultural, ethnic, and social fabric of our society. By marginalizing voices from various communities and excluding them from key decision-making roles, this leadership not only undermines the values of equality and fairness but also weakens the government's ability to address the diverse needs of its constituents.

A government that does not reflect its people cannot effectively serve them. It is time to demand accountability and advocate for an inclusive system where every voice matters.
