South Sudan National Football team, the Bright Stars capped their maiden outing in the qualifiers for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) with victory edging Somalia 2-1 away in Djibouti on Saturday.

It was the first time South Sudan were participating in the championship designed exclusively for footballers playing in the domestic leagues since joining the realms of international football in 2012, and they did not disappoint, snatching victory over Somalia in a match of equals.

Forward James Moga gave the Bright Stars the lead after only six minutes before Abas Amin Mohamed drew level for the Ocean Stars four minutes after the break.

Khamis Leon sealed the victory for Bilal Felix’s charges with a strike on 52 minutes to give his side an advantage ahead of the return leg next week in Juba.

The match played at the Gouled Stadium in Djibouti due to Somalia’s inability to host matches in their territory saw the Bright Stars having the last laugh at the expense of the Ocean Stars in the first leg of the First Round of the Southern Zone qualifiers for the 2018 edition to be staged in Kenya.

The Governor of Jubek State has directed community leaders in Lokiliri County to identify potential youth in the area to be trained as school teachers.

Augustine Jadalla Wani has directed community leaders in Lokiliri County to identify potential youth in the area to be trained as school teachers.

“Commissioner, Chiefs and all the intellectuals you need to identify those who have secondary leaving certificates so that they can be taken for training. The sons and the daughters of this area must be teachers here for them to be at home. We need to sacrifice for us to grow up this young generation because they are very important.” Wani said.

Mr. Wani said it is cheaper to have teachers from within the area because their demands would be less expensive.

He said due to the economic situation the state is unable to hire teachers and health from outside.”Those who know English need to be given training so that they can work in these places. If we do this we will succeed, because with the economic situation that we are in you cannot be able to bring somebody from other place and there is no house.”
