The Director of Gender, Child and Social Welfare in Awerial County, Lakes State, David Abuyung Magot, has urged parents to stop marrying off their daughters at an early age, warning that the practice is contributing to an increase in obstetric fistula cases among young mothers.

“We will not stop speaking about this issue. We must continue telling parents to allow their daughters to mature before giving them into marriage,” Abuyung said.

Abuyung made the remarks on Monday during a training on the prevention and management of obstetric fistula organized by Doctors with Africa at the Awerial County Health Department in Mingkaman.

Health officials said 15 women have successfully undergone obstetric fistula surgery in Awerial County since the beginning of this year.

They added that most of the patients were young women who had been married before reaching adulthood.

The director encouraged families to support girls in completing their education and protect them from harmful practices that put their health at risk.

“Parents should protect their daughters, support the positive relationships they build while in school, and fulfill their responsibility of caring for them,” he stated.

Obstetric fistula is a serious childbirth injury that occurs when prolonged or obstructed labor creates a hole between the birth canal and the bladder or re**um.

The condition causes continuous leakage of urine or f***s and is largely preventable with timely access to quality maternal healthcare.

Abyei government supplies markets with affordable sorghum


Abyei government supplies markets with affordable sorghum
Authorities in the Abyei Administrative Area have released sorghum to local markets at affordable prices following a sharp rise in the cost of the food items.

Abyei Minister of Information Yonana Akol Ngor said the sorghum was bought from local farmers last year as part of efforts to address food shortages and stabilize prices.

“The government decided to sell the sorghum stored last year after prices increased to 25,000 SSP. We are selling it at an affordable price of 10,000 SSP to support citizens,” Akol said.

Residents are allowed to buy three tins of sorghum for 30,000 South Sudanese Pounds, with the supply expected to continue until September 2026.

Ngor said a government committee has been formed to monitor the sale and distribution of the sorghum to ensure the process is properly managed.
