The Chief of English to Africa News Service and South Sudan Project at Voice of America News Sonya Laurence Green has visited Juba this week.

In a phone interview with Ratomir Petrovic, the chief of Radio Miraya, Ms Green said; " Journalists have a passion for their profession, they believe it is important to find out the facts and share the truth, but I think it is particularly difficult for local journalists working in conflict conditions to be able to carry this out."
