The Civil society organizations and the media call on the government to protect citizens who are living near the oil fields.
Oil Companies should protect citizens living near the fields as South Sudan is gearing to attain peace, says Michael Duku, Executive director of Association of Media Development in South Sudan or AMDISS.
He says it is high time that each citizen knows about oil and polices of production.
AMDISS trained Journalists to orient them to know the law of oil after discovering reporters lack policies of oil production, explains the director.
One of the civil society organizations’ official emphasizes on the need to enlighten communities not to stay near the oil operating areas.
The officials spoke during a four-day workshop organized by AMDISS on raising awareness of Journalists on reporting on oil and there polices in Juba.
