Ramciel City

Ramchiel, also spelled Ramshiel, is a place in Lakes, a state in South Sudan, that will serve as the future site of the national capital.

It is considered the geographic center of the country and borders Jonglei state to the west. It is very close to the point at which the borders of Central Equatoria, Jonglei, and Lakes, and thus the historical provinces of Equatoria, Greater Upper Nile, and Bahr el Ghazal, touch. John Garang, the first president of Southern Sudan, allegedly wanted to place the national capital in Ramciel during hi

s administration, but he died before South Sudan achieved independence and its largest city of Juba became the capital instead. Inhabitants

The area is inhabited by the Ciec-Dinka, a sub-grouping of the pastoral Dinka people, who cultivate crops in the highlands during the dry season and in the Nile marshes during the wet season. There are conflicting reports over its suitability for larger-scale construction, with some characterising the area as sunken and swampy and others contending that the rocky highlands can support a major city if one were to be built there. National capital proposal

In early February 2011, what was then the Autonomous Government of Southern Sudan adopted a resolution to find a new capital for South Sudan. Ramciel was one of the two proposed locations for the site. Lakes Governor Chol Tong Mayay visited Ramciel later in the month to raise attention for its bid to be the site of the new capital. Ramciel "The late Dr John Garang promised to build Ramciel as the capital of South Sudan and having it here will be a dream come true."Just prior to South Sudanese independence in July 2011, a government spokesman confirmed the federal government of the country was still considering building a new capital at Ramciel.On 2 September, the federal cabinet voted to designate Ramciel as the site for a planned city, to be demarcated from Lakes state. Information Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin said the move would likely take three to five years to complete and would be conducted in stages. Vice President Riek Machar said in mid-December 2011 that the government of South Sudan is planning to build a major international airport in a free trade zone to be established in Tali, just outside Ramciel. Machar suggested that this airport could handle traffic from large cargo planes for which other regional airports are not designed, an asset that would be vital to realizing Machar's vision for South Sudan to become a trade hub in the center of the African continent.

Putin has sent the world's largest submarine armed with a nuclear warhead to the coast of Cuba, approximately 90 miles off the coast of USA in a demonstration of strength as tensions escalate between Cold War allies.

This action follows President BIDEN approval for UKRAIN to utilize US manufactured weapons to target RUSIA mainland, further exacerbating the already strained relations between Moscow and Washington.

Former Ambassador Monday Semaya, who previously served as an ambassador to China and as a non-resident ambassador to Australia & Malaysia, has recently been sworn in as the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.

During his extensive tour across various states in Australia, Ambassador Monday successfully united the sizable South Sudanese population within a short period of time, showcasing exceptional leadership qualities that have not been witnessed in a long while. While Australia will feel his absence, his new role in enhancing the nation's international relations is equally significant.

Ambassador Monday brings a wealth of experience and competence to his new position, signaling a positive step forward for South Sudan in setting a leading example. Special thanks to President Salva Kiir Mayardit for entrusting Ambassador Monday with this important responsibility.
