Government issued Warning of Shutting down UN Radio

Information Minister also Government Spokesperson on Monday issued a warning of shutting down United Nations or UN Radio Miraya in Juba for broadcasting views of SPLM/A in Opposition with negative agitations. Michael Makuei Lueth said he was going on to strengthen the warning finally in writing, arguing that he would not be afraid to close down the UN radio station meant for peace building dissemination. He vowed that the government would continue cracking down media outlets as long as they disseminate SPLM/A in Opposition views inside the country. The Minister added that they would never tolerate local media outlets voicing divergent views of agitation, arguing that such had never happened anywhere in the world. He said the Nation Mirror newspaper was lucky only to be shut down instead of being prosecuted in court of law because he was outside the country when it published about “SPLA deserting Renk in Upper Nile State”.
