Sudans Post
Sudans Post is an independent online newspaper from South Sudan, published mainly in English and Arabic and covering Sudan and South Sudan. It was founded in 2017 by journalist Tor Madira Machier and his brother Keah Madira Machier (Penton Keah), and officially launched in December 2019. The editor-in-chief is Tor Madira Machier. The site aims to provide alternative views on events in Sudan, South Sudan and East Africa and to foster public discussion. It says private ownership keeps its journalism independent.
The publication was based in Juba, but government security agencies blocked its site and shut its office in June 2020, so it has operated from abroad since then. In February 2021 it announced it was the second-most visited South Sudanese news site with over 500,000 monthly page views, and by June 2021 it had been visited more than 3 million times.
In June 2020 the government blocked Sudans Post after it ran a story the government deemed defamatory. Earlier, it published a piece about a wealthy Juba-based businesswoman being investigated by the National Security Service over suspicions she was involved in a plan to kill her husband. Two months later, Qurium Media Foundation set up a mirror site to bypass the block.
