Considering the trends of pollution (pollutant) level in South Sudan Upper Nile Region, in 30 years,

By Wol Atak

Citizens in this part of the country might be displaced and any remnants would import drinking water from other parts of the country if at all their home would still be inhabitable that our brothers and sisters with the power to stop environmental pollution in our country do not take into account is the danger the chemical could do to human DNA. And that is that it alters DNA and result is bearing deformed children, barrenness both to men and women. This would mean depopulating that part of the nation. Once an oil pollutant is entered a land it becomes pervasive. It can be transported across the other parts of the country through other means. The leadership ought to understand that environmental pollution negative effects will not stop in Upper Nile Region but could reach the other parts of the country either through soldiers from other parts of the country deployed at oil-producing areas or consumption of contaminated meat from an animal poisoned by chemical or water or even contaminated clothes. Oil chemical spilt on our soil is a major threat to national security in South Sudan and need equal measures to stop further contamination.
