Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United States Ambassador to South Sudan, Michael J. Adler, on the occasion to mark World Radio Day on 13 February urged the Government of South Sudan to allow journalists to work without fear of harassment and detention.<\/p>\n

He said the people of South Sudan have for long demanded to exercise their right to freedom of expression.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccess to information and freedom of expression have been key demands of the people of South Sudan since before the country\u2019s independence. These demands remain as strong as ever today,\u201d Ambassador Adler said. \u201cThe United States calls upon the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity to allow journalists to work without fear of harassment, detention, or violence. Journalists must be free and empowered to fulfill this essential function for South Sudan to become a strong and stable democracy. \u201c<\/p>\n

A press statement from the U.S. Embassy in Juba on Monday also said the U.S. Government joins the people of South Sudan in celebrating World Radio Day on February 13 with this year\u2019s theme, \u201cRadio and Peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic opinion surveys in South Sudan have highlighted the importance of radio as the most accessible and widely consumed,\u201d the statement read. \u201cThrough the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Government has long supported independent media in South Sudan, particularly radio. On February 9, USAID launched the Sustainable Independent Media Activity, a three-year, USD 12 million activity focused on improving South Sudanese citizens\u2019 access to reliable information by promoting the sustainability of high-quality, independent radio.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative will provide more than $3 million in grants to local media organizations and support efforts that combat hate speech, rumors, misinformation, and disinformation, which threaten peace and stability in South Sudan,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
