December 30th 2018 (Nyamilepedia) – The South Sudan government led by President Salva Kiir Mayardiit has been accused of exercising nepotism in providing jobs opportunities to South Sudan citizens in different sectors.
Since December 2013, following the outbreak of the South Sudan civil war, several South Sudanese working in different sectors fled the country or to IDPs camp within South Sudan leaving their jobs behind.
The ongoing conflict is mostly fought along ethnic lines with the Dinka supporting President Salva Kiir Mayardiit, an ethnic Dinka with the Nuer mostly supporting former First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon.
In a statement issued on Sunday, former SPLA-IO (TB) spokesman Col. Dickson Gatluak Jock Nyuot said based on his assessment following a trip to former Unity state, he learned that 90% of the jobs are occupied by Dinka tribe from among which President Kiir comes from.
