رئيس جمهورية الموز "سلفاكير" وكـسير التلج الكتير للرئيس السوداني "عمر البشير"

Quote: Despite RSS efforts to attract foreign investment, investors face an extremely challenging investment climate. According to the World Bank’s 2011 Doing Business report, the economy of Juba, South Sudan’s capital is ranked 159 among 183 economies on its “ease of doing business” scale. The legal framework governing investment and private enterprises remains underdeveloped. A new labor law, public procurement bill, and several pieces of legislation related to land ownership are either in the drafting stage or awaiting approval by the National Legislative Assembly. Laws and regulations that do exist are not always enforced and are not well-publicized. Domestic and foreign investors often have an incomplete understanding of existing laws. Although the RSS is committed to judicial reform, the existing legal system is ineffective, underfunded, overburdened, and subject to executive interference. High-level government and military officials are often immune from prosecution in practice, and frequently interfere with court decisions. Parties in contract disputes are sometimes arrested and imprisoned until the party agrees to pay a certain sum of money, often without ever going to court and sometimes without being formally charged. Other factors inhibiting investment in South Sudan include limited physical infrastructure and a lack of both skilled and unskilled labor. South Sudan, roughly the size of France, has fewer than 400 kilometers of paved roads, and large parts of the country are inaccessible during the rainy season (April through October). Despite the existence of three power plants, none of which are working at full capacity, the country is almost completely reliant on diesel-run generators for electricity. According to the 2008 census, 94 percent of young persons enter the labor market with no qualifications. The majority of South Sudanese work in non-wage jobs, often in the agricultural sector. The country’s literacy rate is just 27 percent.
