May 28, 2020 (SSNN) – In the dusty streets of South Sudan’s capital city, Juba, citizens of the world’s youngest nation are stranded, traumatized and hungry with no food to eat. A mother who lost her husband to war is seen selling tomatoes at a custom market with no hope of making enough money. A soldier who has not received his salary for the last 2 years or so hit the streets of Juba with torn shoes each rising sun to feed his family.
Running from a war-torn country, South Sudanese refugees waited each month for the World Food Program to supply their monthly ratio in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, and Sudan’s refugee camps. For the lucky ones, those in UNMISS, they are privileged to call Protection of Civilians’ sites a home.
There are hundreds of thousands living in the swamps of Sudd mainland. While the nation is stranded with no further hope of formation of local governments, collapsing economic and the threat of current devastating effects of COVID-19 pandemic; behind the scene dirty deals involving billions of dollars flourishing with culprits walking free in the streets of capital, Juba.
These deals held South Sudan hostage from fighting corruption and transformation of vital institutions that support development and security.
The new giants of this game are the likes of businessman and tycoon Kur Ajiing Ater and his partners Ding Madol and Capt. Majok Chol, businessman, Adim Adim among others who named themselves the mafia of South Sudan. They used bribery, cheating through the office of the president, looting ministry of finance, manipulating Ministry of Defence, and got away with everything. No one dares them. They crushed their enemies and made friends with the powerful. They threatened anyone in their way including the president himself. They bribed generals, forage their wives, sent their children to schools abroad and helped them buy mansions outside South Sudan just to help achieve their aim.
What are they after? And why are they walking free without being arrested? Is the president aware of these people exploiting the resources of South Sudan? Mr. Kur and Ding’s recent involvement in mass money laundering and corruption is shockingly threatening stability in the world’s young nation. They formed a network of powerful military generals, national security agents and several civil servants.
According to a investigative journalist in Juba, Kur despite being sanctioned by the United States in November 2019 for illegal money laundering, obstruction and fueling of war in South Sudan; nevertheless, he lingers to carrot more government officials to remain obtaining murky deals involving millions of dollars. According to below document, on 8th January 2019, through his agents in the ministry of Finance and Planning (MOFP), Mr. Kur manipulated, bribed individuals to approve the contract of unknown number of cars for purchase worth $10,000,000 in Dubai. This money where transferred into the Bank Account of Car City LLC. The unknown numbers of cars never made it to South Sudan. The money disappeared just like that.
Another significant took place on 16th of January, eight days after the $10,000,000 was transferred into an oversea Account in Dubai. This time around, the deal involved another company owned by the associates of Mr. Kur and Ding. The company GREEN FOR LOGISTIC SERVICES LLC received $9, 500,000 in Dubai. The company never deliver the services as the purposed. After serious investigation, investigative journalist revealed that such a deal was never authorized by the government of South Sudan. However, Kur and the companies manipulated the deal, removed the money from the ministry of Finance and Planning bribing their way up to Dubai.
Kur And Company’s New Way After The U.S Sanction
Both Mr. Kur and Paulino Ding Madol forged the contract of $756 million with the government in pure manipulation using bribery and threatening opposers to their dealings. The payment was separated in different terms. The case in point was, when 1st Lt. Deng Madut threatened to reveal their money laundering and theft activities, the duo bribed the authority in Juba accusing Mr. Deng Madut of spying for national security. Deng’s arrest was made at midnight with the intended mission to kill him and he refused to come out on their request, eventually he was caught in the morning and locked up. He remains in prison with no clear justification on his case.
Recently Kur and his group donated four (4) land cruisers v8 and a house as an attempt to bribe the new minister of Defence (Madam Angelina Teny) to continue looting of the ministry. However, Kur’s spoils were rejected outrightly by the minister.
As seen below (document not available), is another big break through for Kur and company made from July 2018 and January 2020.
This is just a tip of an iceberg. More report about his secret dealings and money laundering will be exposed throughout various media outlets this week.
This report into 3 sections. The first one walks the reader through the contracts handled and mismanaged by Luo for Trading & Investment Co. Ltd owned by Mr. Kur Ajiing Ater.
Recently, Mr. Kur created the new business gateway through Khartoum, Sudan, using Sudan’s most powerful man, Vice president Lt. Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo (also known as Hemetti) as a shield to protect his business empire. Lt. Gen. Hemetti’s vast efforts in the peace process in South Sudan are finally paying off. Mr. Kur trusted 80 percent of his money transactions to Dubai International Markets using Khartoum’s Umer Yahacuf and Mohammed Abdallah to purchase cars from Dubai Car City worth several millions of dollars. Below are the transactions that took place in March 2020.
On Thursday 16th of March 2020, evidence of these claims circulated within the president’s office, but individuals with knowledge to these deals were severely punished or silence using Mr. Kur and Diing’s private security apparatus within the capital. The president never had an idea about this.
According to the report obtained on confidentiality, a contract involving Amuk &
Lou for Trading & Investment Co. Ltd used bribery to secure an indenture of $549,000,000 for the supply of food to the entire SSPDF in various parts of South Sudan from in March 2020 alone. These deals largely benefit the likes of DG Gen. Gregory Vasilis.
This amount of money $539,000,000 have been received many times in the name of the same contract. A set of confusion that the minister of finance coordinate to keep off the record from the public.
Lou for Trading & Investment Co. Ltd won the deal through bribery by promising and giving out some money to powerful military generals within the army.
Although the company in part delivered some food items valued $25, 000, 000, 90 percent of the food was monetized, calculated into cash, banked and shipped overseas with profiteers buying millions of dollars mansions in Dubai, Australia and Monaco.
Behind the power of all these deals, Maj. Gen. Gregory Vasilli with his group led by Brig. Gen. Gum Ruben and his bodyguards ended up buying Bungalows in Dubai, Khartoum, Nairobi and Kampala. After much complaining from the SSDPF officers aware of the transactions, over 100,000,000 SSP were dispatched to silence the staff involved in procurement, and supply. Military Intelligence agents were massively paid between 2nd and 4th of January 2020 through Mountain Bank in Juba.
However, more than 360,000,000 SSP was first given out to various stakeholders at the end of 2019. Gen. Gregory once again took the initiative to silence the concerned individuals who knew what was going on. He is the shield to Kur and Diing. As these two men shipped millions of dollars into foreign banks outside the country, they used men like Gen. Gregory to shield them from the fire blast.
Source indicates that the company was deeply involved in bribery of military generals to silence them throughout the middle of 2019 and 2020. Another report revealed that the DG for Procurement in the minister of defense was given slightly over $500,000, a couple of cars for his first trip to Nairobi immediately after his appointment in 2018.
