Gulf Air will start flying to Juba

August 24, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – Gulf Air, the national airline of Bahrain, plans to start flights to the new state of South Sudan early next year, the company announced.

gulf-air-logo.jpgThe airline will fly three times a week to Juba starting next February with fares as low as $447.

South Sudan became an independent state early last month.

Gulf Air’s Chief Executive Officer Samer Majali said the new routes were part of the airline’s long-term strategy to connect Bahrain and the region with new and unexplored markets.

‘It is one more example of our pioneering tradition, establishing our leadership position to gain commercial advantage in new markets,’ he noted.

‘It also opens up new business opportunities between Bahrain and these fast-developing countries,’ he added.

    Dear President and all south sudanese,

    Think of insecurity

    Equip our police with morden weapons to deter raiders in every corner of SOUTH SUDAN.98% of South Sudan’s weakness comes from catte rustling and you mr.president together with your team must do something about it.Work on it now before it is tooooooooooooo late,Sir.

    Request all peace loving nations to help you with HELICOPTERS now.

    We all need helicopters to deter those criminals.Sending troops without helicopters won’t stop it.We need troops plus helicopters this time.They must be disarmed as reconciliatory team is doing its part.If there are no helicopters.

    Try to ask those questions now

    Where can you get them?
    When will South have them?
    Why do you need them for?
    What if South does not have them?

    Ignoring that situation will give Lam Akol ajagwin a room.
    He might be there who knows.
    It will give North Sudan the upper hand( victory).
    Ignoring it now will proof those who say ’South Sudan will be another Somalia right’.If South Sudan fails then it will start in Jonglei State.It will start axactly the way it is and burst up like a BOMB.This is the right time to take everything serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..being it word or emotion or phsical language.

    Helicopters are the right things to use when dealing with cattle raiders

    1.Because helicopters can bomb them
    2.Can trace them.
    3.chase them up to their villages.
    4.Will be less expensive in term of life lost on the soldiers’ side.
    5.Will be an example to other raiders across South Sudan including REBELS because Athor or Lam uses those rustlers to tarnish the image of the whole South Sudan or SPLA/M.

    Using them will stop cattle rustling once and for all.Because cow is too big to be put into the pocket or hide it in the bush.They raid cows and spend two or three days before reaching their destinations.They raid many herd of cattle which always more than 30,000 cows.

    The question is “Would they manage to hide all these cows in one bushy forest or not?”.If the answer is NO NO NO.Why not SSP(South Sudan Police doesn’t use them)?

    How many days can helicopters spend before finding them?
    ????????????????????????????????????

    Remember,chasing criminals with mere guns is more risky more traditional.The weapons of morden world are

    1.Cars mounted with rockets.
    2.Helicopters.

    And South Sudan must have them and know how to use them effectively and efficiently.

    South Sudan is being challenged in every corner and SHE MUST WAKE UP.SHE MUST CONFRONT all these challengs with brave and courage.

    Why does South Sudan look inferior when it is Superior?
    GOSS,GET TEN HELICOPTERS for ten states if South Sudan can’t afford fifty HELICOPTERS NOW to provide PROTECTION to our civil Population.

    Thanks to H.E Salva KIIR
    Thanks to H.E Riek MACHAR
    Thanks to all Southerners

    Mr. Majali has taken a commendable step and made an informed business decision. This will positively contribute in building and promoting economic ties between South Sudan and the Gulf States. For those who don’t know Gulf Air, it was the number one carrier in the Arabian Gulf before the emergence of Emirates Airlines and Qatar Airways. Congratulations to air travelers to South Sudan; you will notice the difference!
