Watch: Six Journalists Arrested For Releasing Video Showing South
Sudan President Wetting Himself

South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir has been in office since the
country became independent in 2011.

The 71-year-old had been rumored to be in ill health for months, but
during a photo-op in December, Kiir was shown standing during the
nation’s national anthem and wetting himself in a most embarrassing
way.

Six staffers for the national broadcasting company in South Sudan were
arrested by the security service. There were immediate complaints from
the trade union representing the staffers that the law, which gives
the government the power to hold someone for 24 hours before taking
them before a judge, is being violated.

The staffers are being charged with having knowledge of the
unauthorized release of “certain footage.”

“If there is a prima facie case of professional misconduct or offense
then let authorities expedite an administrative or legal process to
address the issue in a fair, transparent [sic] and in accordance with
the law,” union chair Oyet Patrick Charles said.

    A journalists’ union in #South_Sudan asserted Friday that six
staffers with the national broadcaster are detained in connection with
footage apparently showing the country’s president urinating on
himself during an event. https://t.co/fXqyiAEQjP

The Associated Press reports that “The presidential election was
recently postponed again, this time to late 2024, amid the slow
implementation of a 2018 peace deal ending a five-year civil war.”

There hasn’t been a presidential election in South Sudan since the
independence, and Kiir claimed he did not want “to rush you into an
election that will take us back to war,” he said.

The national security services in South Sudan are making a habit of
arresting people and holding them indefinitely.

Reuters:

    Muthoki Mumo, CPJ’s sub-Saharan Africa representative, said the
arrests match a “pattern of security personnel resorting to arbitrary
detention whenever officials deem coverage unfavourable.”

    “Authorities should unconditionally release these six SSBC
employees and ensure that they can work without further intimidation
or threat of arrest,” Mumo said.

So South Sudan’s agony will continue with a president who is at the
very least incontinent and almost certainly losing the ability to lead
his country.
