Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s senior presidential advisor, Kuol Manyang Juuk, on Thursday issued a call for citizens to actively engage in agricultural endeavors within the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a harvest event held at Dr. John Garang Memorial University of Science and Technology in Bor, Kuol highlighted South Sudan\u2019s prevalent food insecurity, attributing it to the population\u2019s reluctance to participate in agricultural activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think that rice is something to be brought from outside, but it can be planted, and I have seen that it can be planted here and I comment the University and Korean army unit that have taken up this initiative and want to encourage our people to integrate into farming,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJonglei is suffering from flood and rice grows in water so there is no need of saying sorghum failed, we need to buy technology and apply. So, our universities and our states have to learn from universities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Pointing to Jonglei\u2019s flood-prone situation, Kuol underscored the potential for rice cultivation in flooded areas, advocating for the adoption of agricultural technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of lamenting sorghum failures, we should invest in technology. Our universities and states should learn and apply these methods,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n

Emphasizing the country\u2019s fertile soil, Kuol stressed the need for concerted efforts to harness its potential, stating that South Sudanese often mask laziness with claims of insecurity.<\/p>\n

\u201cInsecurity exists everywhere, not just in Juba. We shouldn\u2019t confine ourselves to Juba. It\u2019s prevalent even in places like Kenya. We mustn\u2019t be deterred by it,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n

Addressing criminal gangs, Kuol proposed a redirection of their efforts towards farming by providing training and resources, channeling their energy into productive agricultural activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese gangs [Toronto] should be trained on how to farm. They rob people because they want money, they want something to eat. Take them to where they will produce and release their own resourcefulness,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Once a governor of Jonglei, Kuol urged the citizens there to optimize floodwater, emphasizing its potential benefits rather than focusing solely on its disadvantages.<\/p>\n
