DEATH ANNOUNCEMENT

It is with deep sorrow and profound sadness that the family announce the passing of Regina Abur Manyiel, the beloved wife of late Sub-Chief Claudio Thony Ubur Thony last evening 17/9/2026 in Mapel after battling with long illness.

She departed this life peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, caring, and unyielding devotion to her family and the entire community.

As the wife of Sub-Chief Claudio Thony, Regina was not only a pillar of support to her family but also a maternal figure to the community. Her life was defined by selflessness, kindness, and an open heart.

She stood as a beacon of peace and unity during the liberation struggle with sub Chief Thonydit, frequently offering wise counsel, comforting those in distress, and opening her home to anyone in need. Her generosity knew no bounds, and her tireless efforts to support local families, uplift women, and foster harmony in the community will never be forgotten.

She lived her life with grace, humility, and an enduring commitment to the welfare of others. May the good lord Rest her innocent soul in power
................
The family of late Claudio Thony Ubur Thony.

IMPACTS OF CULTURE ON MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH : WHY LUO CULTURE MUST BE REVISED .

A Personal opinion on the practice of marriage and women autonomy

By Henry Nyiyuo (Wagol)

Culture embodies the defining characteristics of a society or a tribe. This is never formulated by a curriculum nor does it present a clear origin, but yet places a significant pressure on different aspects of our day to day living. Culture defines what each gender should do, how to do it and at what age. It also influences the centre of decision making and access to resources.

While there are both positive and negative attributes of culture, the negative ones tend to be more pronounced than the positive outcomes. This is particularly true in developing countries where laws protecting human rights are absurd. In the case of South Sudan, the weight is felt more by females than the male gender. This consequently places women at a disadvantaged position and thereby denies them fundamental human rights including the right to health services. In the dark of unchecked powerful cultural practices, women endure untold suffering associated with male dominance in decision making. Men find themselves in this dominating position by cultural default and not a choice.
This article seeks to highlight two key examples of practices that impede maternal health and their impacts.

1. Payment of bride price.
While dowry gives value to the lady being married and literally appreciates her parents for raising her, no limits have been set for maximum bride price, allowing some ladies to be turned into assets. Consequently scrabbling off their right to autonomy. The dowry gives the man upper hands to decide over the life and death of the woman, including withdrawal of her autonomy to consent for treatment. A mother with labour complications needing immediate surgical intervention would die even within the facility simply because the husband (asset owner) has refused to sign consent or is not around to sign the consent. He determines the place of delivery for the woman and with expected spontaneous virginal delivery as the only option with no regard to her fitness for that. Apart from death, this has resulted into many birth complications including fistula, uterine rupture and subsequent unplanned hysterectomy.

The same power imbalance also blocks her from accessing family planning services even when she is not fit for subsequent pregnancy. A man will not want to hear no to pregnancy from a woman he has exhausted his resources on. This increases chances of birth complications or untold poverty.

2. Marrying for the dead,
Another terrible practice is the act of marrying a lady for someone who died long before the lady could grow up. Sometimes she never even heard of him one day. The parents on both sides agree and the lady is married in the name of a deceased son. A care-taking man from the family of the deceased is identified to bear children with the woman. The children are then named after the late, placing both the children and their mother at a disadvantaged position. Meaning the woman is born a widow and the children are orphans by default. šŸ˜­

Every child deserves the right to parenting and their mother deserves a caring man. Pre-determined widowhood is unacceptable and is a violation of the sexual reproductive rights of a woman.
When such a woman suffers, nobody takes full charge of her because she is a widow. Secondly, she is not supposed to access family planning because she was married to bear children and create a big family in the name of the dead.
Women undergoing this kind of treatment would suffer serious psychological complications including peripheral psychosis should they face difficulty in giving birth.

The above practices place women at a sole position of child bearing and raring with no additional benefits of marriage.
These if not addressed would continue to deteriorate maternal health and consequently increased cases of maternal mortality..
Though culture is never planned, such practices can be filtered off through customary laws. Allowing women to continue suffering from cruel traditions amidst advanced health science is a serious national negligence on maternal and child health.
