There is considerable pressure from the white house for the warring parties to deliver peace in a statement released by the U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice it heavily criticized South Sudan's leadership , saying it's directly responsible for the nation's civil war. "Over the past 19 months, the government has abdicated its responsibilities, failed to protect its citizens, and squandered its legitimacy. Instead of negotiating a resolution to the conflict, it has subverted democracy and unilaterally extended its mandate. As the violence drags on, the conflict not only scars the lives of innocent South Sudanese, it threatens to destabilize the wider region".
"The path ahead is clear. Violence will not bring about a solution. The South Sudanese parties must establish immediately a transitional government that can serve with legitimacy and represent the needs of the people of South Sudan". Susan Rice
She added " We will hold accountable those who abuse the people of South Sudan. And, the United States along with the international community, will punish those determined to drive South Sudan into the abyss".
This strongly worded statement comes in the back drop of the rejection of the IGAD PLUS peace proposal but the intransigent South Sudanese Juba regime according to deputy minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation, Peter Bashir Gbandi, said the new proposal undermined national unity and social cohesion as it put the oil-rich greater Upper Nile region under the control of the opposition faction of the former vice president, Riek Machar.
Museveni is also a negative factor to the peace process ,his nature of deriving solutions through violent means is the greatest stumbling block to peace efforts ,after it was leaked recently that Museveni is pushing for the parliament of Uganda to authorize the army to spend an extra 45 billion .Experts opinion puts the figures of the cost of financing war in South Sudan to be 10 times more than what the public knows,part of the leaked secretive deal is to procure Russian manufactured weapons under the classified expenditures in Ugandan budget.
This is a war Uganda as a country can not afford to sustain for any longer than the current period,however to massage his strongman mentality , Museveni is ready to gamble the whole country just to defeat the SPLA-IO in order to maintain the weak government in South Sudan led by the undemocratic Salva Kiir.
Museveni is oblivious to the fact that the cost is spiraling out of control and the shilling can barely hold it together against the dollar , the whole country is heading to doom,we should accept that we are unable to defeat and dislodge the SPLA-IO forces from their bases and take the simple root of peace.

Why cultural literacy enhances virtual team productivity

Fact: "The Dutch have a dominant direct communication style, which is more likely to be a source of conflict with staff from Asia". The advancement in the way we communicate has given companies the opportunities to hire workers from borderless communities and such teams who work in different, time, space, language and culture are defined as Virtual teams. Basically, technology has enabled managers to pool the talents and expertise of employees and non-employees by eliminating time and space barriers by utilizing internet technologies, guided by common purposes, roles, and norms. Therefore, for the virtual team to be productive, it has become important that the team acquires knowledge in cultural diversity so that they can have a cross-cultural collaboration to accomplish projects.  Being culturally literate means, you can co-operate across borders and time zones – in virtual teams. Cultural awareness is one of the most important communication skills required for one t...

Players of the Black Stars, a team created for African footballers, train at a pitch in the Moscow suburbs on June 4, 2018. - Ivorian football player Soumahoro created the Black Stars team to support and maintain the morale of African players who came to Russia with the hope of a breakthrough in Europe, but have been deceived by trafficking agents, AFP reported on June 10, 2018. (Photo by Maxim ZMEYEV / AFP)   In Human history, the recreative value obtained in leisure and sports activities have played a very important social role of not only entertaining us but improve and maintain our physical conditions, while at the same time sports promotes community inclusions.

Press release Since the beginning of the current South Sudan conflict, South Sudanese citizens from Nuer ethnicity have since then been held hostage in UN camps across the country . The fear of unlawful arrest and extrajudicial execution from the government security organs has caused a great loss of confidence and trust for the government of President Salva Kiir in Juba, Bor, Bentiu, Malakal and Wau. Therefore the leadership of SPLM/SPLA under leadership of Dr.Riek Machar Teny has highly welcomed the bold step taken by Secretary of United Nations (UN) Amb. Ban Ki Moon to relocate Nuer IDPS from government control areas to SPLM/SPLA IO held territories so that they can follow and practice their daily routine life in their original areas without fear. On other hand, the leadership of SPLM/SPLA IO, also calls upon all people of South Sudan to seek shelter in all areas liberated by SPLM/SPLA IO for full security and safety as it is been acknowledged that the government troops are not...
