Sir. Akau Jambo@AkauJambo·
South Sudan has mastered the art of robbing from the people everyday. Did you know that you are charged $5 to withdraw your $100 from the bank? $5 bro! Even America doesn’t charge that much. $5? I’m I withdrawing sperms?

Just saw pictures of our looted house. I have no words. We have to look ahead, looking back is painful & futile.

NGOs can find it difficult to act as facilitators rather than leaders and initiators of programs 4 refugees. This may be rooted in the lack of willingness from NGO workers to confront disruptive feedback, disagreements with policy paradigms or to move beyond the status quo.

At Platform Africa, we strongly believe in open knowledge and sharing, and we believe that through this project, we empower refugees to have a voice in how they are represented while also making it easier to find reliable and up-to-date information about the refugee camps.

Against all odds, he landed on time, made it to his race in the 3 remaining hours, and finished in 3rd place, qualifying for the 100m semi-final with a time of 10.10 seconds!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Africa’s fastest man, Ferdinand Omanyala, got his US visa 24 hrs before the race of his life. A flight from Kenya to Oregon is 18+ hrs. He has 3hrs after landing to clear customs, get to the arena, pick accreditation, warm up, then compete with the other (well-rested) athletes.
