South Sudan, fatal place for journalists to work, says report

South Sudan has been ranked on the list of the top 5 ‘most fatal places for journalists to work, according to a report released by the Committee for the Protection of Journalists – CPJ.

The ranking is linked to the incident early this year when five journalists traveling with a county official were ambushed and killed by unidentified gunmen in Western Bahr al Ghazal state.

The killings of the five South Sudanese journalists are part of at least 26 cases CPJ is investigating to determine whether they were work-related.
