Dollar Rate Skyrocketing in Juba, South Sudan

Salaries in dramatic decline
Salaries in dramatic decline
By Steven Deng Wol
I am a GoSS employee who cannot survive this madness. This is a galloping inflation that will surely bring our economy down if no rescue measures are quickly put in place.
My salary cannot take me and my family ten days into the month, no matter how hard I try (no more milk for my 1 year old whose mother can no longer breastfeed, no more “unnecessary” going to the clinic for “just fever” which might not be Malaria, breakfast for kids only, etc ).
I am now trying to get any job with a foreign NGO that can pay me any amount in dollar. Even $300 a month is now more than my salary which was about $800 a month.
hyperinflation??
hyperinflation??
When I look to my neighbors who are really suffering, yet I cannot borrow them any amount for taking their seriously sick kid to the hospital lest my own fall sick in future and I surely fail to treat them.
This situation has changed our culture of good neighborliness. War is very expensive and must be stopped NOW.
We are dying yet the “big men” who do not want peace have access to the dollar for their kids abroad.
