It has been almost six years since my youngest son, Dr. Ding Col Dau Ding (1) - a British educated medical doctor and dual citizen of both South Sudan and the United Kingdom - was brutally murdered in Juba, the capital city and seat of government of #SouthSudan.
I have noted the recent statement made by the British, European and the US diplomatic missions in the country, and by the South Sudan Doctors’ Union (2), condemning the killings and calling for swift justice to be meted out by the government of #SouthSudan;…

Blane reported the coup claim without any confirmation; and simply after being invited to interview Riek Machar & Lam Akol - the 1991 coup leaders - in Nasir after Blane’s visit was arranged by Emma McCune, an expatriate British aid worker who had become married to Riek Machar.
