Mr president , responding to the genuine wishes of the people of Mundri and Ezo for establishing their SSU Area

Secretariats , the SSU Secretary , Equatoria Retion , decreed on May 8 , 1984 the establishment of the two SSU Area Secretariats . The decrees were reciporocated by messages

of appreciation by the people of the two areas .

During the period =under review , the SSU Regional Secertariat had been represented in the meetings of the SSU Qentral . Leadership Specialised Comittees by the respective assistant secretaries ,

Mr President , the Main constraints in our political work during the period under review . are the lack of means of

transport , the rainy season which greatly hampared political enlightement , and lack of funds . Whatever little has been achieved as enumurated above have therefore Been by sheer determination

Inspite of these bottlenecks , the Equatoria Regional Secretariat plans to hold training Courses for political Cadre , hold seminars , exhange inter_regional visitsproduce

political literaturel preferably in English for easier understanding ), and establish a library at the regional level .

Mr P Mr President , our experience is that we will need financial support from the Centre so as to enable us to cope up with our act: activities and facilitate execution of our prograles .

We also

request Central Leaderslip to be r the cost of transporting the uebers of the SSU Central Leadership to attend both the

weetings of the SSU Central Leadershi ) and those of the Speci alised Committees since Our financial situation has not

iaproved .

The 12th and 15th anniversaries of the National Unity Day

and 25th May Revolution respectively wure widely celebrated in the region with the popular and Syndicated Organisation and the masses at large re - affiring their loyalty and support to the May Revolution under the leadership of president Gaffar Mohamed Nimeri . The public in the Regional Capital expressed strongly their conde ratio of the Libyan air - raid on Oandurrian , This was demonstrated in a long procession of the popular and Syndicated Orgnisation to the S.S.U. Regi onal Secretariat to express their indigation against the barbaric air-raid ,

The decree of the Proxident of the Republic ofr introduction of emergency law is tiirely and welcomed in the Region . But

the declaration of the Sharia low in the country is causing

great cencern among the public of Equetoria Region .

The people

of Equatoria Region sincerely believe that the state is for all and religion for individuals . Therefore no religion by booming the basis of rule of law especially in a country lave eith diverse heavenly rgligions and beliefs .

The people of Equatoria also feel that non_ Muslims have not been given the chance in their political organization , the S.S.U. to air their views on the matter , However it

is not too late and it is hopea that such an opportunity will be given to them .

Equatoria Region is calm but of course disturbed by what is happening e the two sisterly regions of Upper Nile and Baher El Ghazal that problems can ve solved peacefully without resorting to

THE REGIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

Since March 1984 the Council held 22 meetings and passed 342 resolutions i .

DIRECTORATE OF CULTURE & INFORMATION

The Directorate of Culture and Information is the chief mouth piece of the Regional

obernment and has

been transfered to the

Governor's office • It It has three main Departments namely Culture , Information and Archives.The period between March and

July 1984 with nessed some considerable achievements . Inspite of

financial constrains it made_head_wayin the following fields . The Department of Culture carried out ethnographic researches

in Juba , Torit , and Kapoeta Districts the result of which have been very encouraging . Cuiruntly

During the serve periodonteDepartment also organisert childrens'arts crafts and music festivals at the Culture

centre which were very successful , in considcral nurber of differe : types of cthnographic materials have be in collecto cudie added to ti. cxisting Collector

oi Juba Regional Ilusel'. A good deal of

renovation has been carried at the Culture Centre and the theatro

in particular looks much better than it has been in the past . The Department of Information has cqually made considerable achievements inspite of its financial difficulties . For

instance a collection of written materials on facts about Iquatoria Region has been compiled and awaits now printing . The film unit had carried public ſilns shows , and photographed e number of development pzojects in the Region cog . Upper Talanga , P.D.U. in Yci Imotong Forestry saw mill Juba town

ship etc. During the same period the unit was also able to complete identity cards for the urban areas . Inspite of the break down of most machines in the Nile printing Press , t10 press has beon able to print examinations and government papers DIRECTORATE OF PIHTACZ & ECONOFIC

TIRS

The Directorate of Finance and Economi ? Affairs controls and coordinates the dinancies of tie Region . It had ho tever facod a great deal of problem as remittances in Grantin

aid from the contre has been inadognate . Since Marc ?. 1984 ,

tie Region has realised a deficit of Ls . l , C 30,588 . 181m/ ms .

This has riede it impossible to pay the salaries of a sizeablo number of omuloyeus , a situation wlich has created sufferr:1s

and anziety . If tris situation is not corrected , anolitical unrost can occur .

COMIDRCE & SUPPLY

By President Decree No. 437 of 13th June 1982 , powers to issue import and export licences on border trade has been removed from

regional authorities , This has reduced business activities in the Region and has caused shortage in a number of vital condities like foods , agricultural medicines , spare parts and oils and lubricaans to be in terrible shortage ,

The people's Regional '.ssembly having

realised this diffioulty has petitioned the President of the

Republic to review his decision in order to facilitatu troue and resto : powers of issue of import and export licences to the Region as stipulated in ddis Ababa Accord .

I am very hopeful that H.I. The President shall give his consent to this request . It is

however , my duty to see to it that Equatoria Region shall not nisuse this privilages vihen it is restored back to it . Position of supply of essential consumer goods has been

very bad in my Region during this period of the report . Distur bances in the other two Regions of Bahr El Ghazal and Upper hile

made it inpssible to ship supplies by land during the dry season . is such not enough supply has been stored .

Moreover poor rain

fall at the head and along the course of the Nile has made thie river to remain very shallow , thus making it impossible for the steamers to reach ports of Equatoria Region ,

Therefore with the

inadequate rainfall in the Region and poor supply from the North my Region is likely to face problems in sypply .
