Journalists and communication officers were today snapped at and thrown out from President Salva Kiir’s press conference at the state house known as J1.
The presidential press crew and the security at the gate prevented journalists from entering the facility because their names, media houses and organisations were not in the list sent from the national Information Ministry.Media houses like Gurtong website, Sudan Radio Service and Catholic Radio Network were not included.
UNMISS political affairs officer was asked to leave and told that they did not need him but only a Miraya FM reporter.
A presidential cameraman snapped a Miraya FM journalist and ordered him to get out because one journalist was already inside.
The Donors Trust Fund communication officer was also denied entrance because her name was not in the list.
