“News coming indicates that “The Dawn newspaper’s Editor in chief Emmanuel Monychol Akop has been apprehended by Security personnel and was taken to an unknown location.
The motives for the arrest are not known or disclosed to the family members.
Impact Media is monitoring 💻 this developing story and will update you on the matter” (Impact Media, 28.11.2024).
In 2019 the Editor in Cheif Emmanuel Monychol Akop was arrested and detained for a longer period by the authorities of South Sudan. Now that the news appear to happening again. A journalist and an fierce editor who does his craft well.
The Dawn Newspaper is respect for its work and the way it operates. That’s why the authorities and such are doing this. It tells stories and let dissidents speak their mind. Which isn’t always appreciated. Especially, not in a nation ruled by decree and by unelected officials who are appointed by J-1.
That’s why it isn’t shocking or surprising that this is happening. You can wonder what story he broke or published. That broke the back of the authorities this time. What sort of tale and words of wisdom that was to damaging. That the leaders of the Republic lost their composure and had to apprehend him again.
This is what I am wondering about. What sort of story or leaked information had he gotten into his hands this time? What does the Dawn Newspaper know? That the J-1, the R-TGoNU and everyone surrounding the President worry about. So, they are righteous in taking him into custody and doing so without any sort of notification or warrants.
If the rulers and the leaders of the nation wants to look wise. Then you are not arresting or abducting, kidnapping or keeping journalists or media personnel incommunicado. That’s how you are validating whatever he knows or has already published. There is validation to those stories and whatever damaging reports he have on hand. Because, you wouldn’t do this… if he was writing flowery speeches and praising the Executive as the almighty and the second coming of Jesus. No, you would allow him to run his business and be a free man.
That’s why we know this gig and that’s something is up. There is some sort of hidden secrets that was possibly leaked and the only way the state could silence it. Was by taking in the man who had the power to publish it in his paper. That’s the only reason why I see this happening. It is sort of in the same fashion as arresting and charging the man who leaked the “pee tape” of the President. We saw that happening too.
So, how long will they keep Monychol Akop behind bars or in a secure facility? Last time it was over two weeks and who knows how long they kept him in prison. It is obvious… that they does this for reason and it isn’t to keep the nation safe. No, it is safeguard the elites who are already running everything. Peace.
