Today I joined Urban FM 99.5 on @theclaritydesk Radio Talk Show discussing The Role of Students in Election Integrity. Students must fight misinformation, share verified information, and protect democracy. @AFRICTIVISTES @efoundationss #ElectionIntegrity #FightFakeNews

We explored digital threats, risk assessment, secure tools, and protecting journalists in the digital space. Cybersecurity is essential for credible journalism.

What an inspiring evening with the brilliant young minds at @SceniusHub ’s Tech Community Meetup! Our fireside chat was a chance to speak openly about the real issues affecting South Sudan’s tech landscape — access, infrastructure, policy, and the fast-changing world of emerging technologies. I shared insights on where the ecosystem is heading as telecom companies roll out broader data coverage and what this expansion means for young builders ready to innovate. The passion, ambition, and creativity in the room made it clear: South Sudan’s tech future is in capable hands. Thank you to Scenius Hub for nurturing this vibrant community. The growth we envision starts with conversations like these.

In the exercise of the authority vested in me as the First Lady of the Republic of South Sudan, I hereby issue the following orders. Mama, which constitution or law bestowed such powers on you? #SSOT #SSOX
