Despite the presence of biases and irregularities in the vetting process conducted at Akobo Teaching Hospital (ACH), the pioneers and initiators of this initiative demonstrated exemplary efforts. I propose that the same vetting process, along with the verification of staff competencies, implemented at ACH should be adopted across all sectors that require skilled personnel with degree or diploma-level qualifications particularly in the Humanitarian, Gorvernment and Military sectors and etc..

URGENT WARNING: South Sudan Designated a "Do Not Travel" Zone by U.S. Department of State

The U.S. Department of State has issued its most severe travel advisory – Level 4: Do Not Travel – for South Sudan, placing it alongside a short list of nations considered to pose an extreme threat to the safety and security of American citizens. This designation is not made lightly. It reflects a grave assessment of the dangers present within South Sudan, including pervasive instability, ongoing conflict, and the severely limited capacity of the U.S. Embassy to provide assistance to travelers in distress.

This is not merely a suggestion; it is a stark warning. Any U.S. citizen considering travel to South Sudan must understand that they are placing themselves at extreme risk. The potential for violence, kidnapping, and other life-threatening situations is demonstrably high.

The U.S. government strongly urges all citizens to heed this advisory and avoid all travel to South Sudan. Before planning any international travel, consult the most up-to-date information at travel.state.gov/destination. Your safety depends on it.

THE PORTRAIT OF SHAME

Woven reeds, a fragile raft, bearing souls, displaced and daft.

Children's eyes, a haunting plea, beneath a sky that should be free.

Bombs descend, a cruel decree, shattering lives, for all to see.

A government's hand, stained with red, while innocence weeps, and hope lies dead.

Yet in their gaze, a flicker bright, a will to live, to claim their right.

Fangak's spirit, though torn and frayed, will rise again, unafraid.

Truth Factor Akobo stands in solidarity with the Children of Fangak✊🏿
