• Jieng Council of elders call for the implementation of National Dialogue Recommendations
• No rule of law in South Sudan and how is that affecting people?

 Aldo Ajou Deng Akuei joined Sudanese politics in 1967, but he became a Jieng Council of Elders in recent years. JCE is seen by many as an organisation promoting Dinka (Jieng) dominant or supporting the Government of President Kiir Mayardit, but Aldo disagrees with such assertions. While Aldo Ajou is not blaming President Kiir for the Government's failures, he points fingers at the ruling elites and their supporters. As the Jieng Council of Elders spokesperson, he calls for implementing the National Dialogue's recommendations.
