The GoSS minister of Information and Broadcasting, Gabriel Changson Chang announced the Southern Sudan Council of Ministers has decided the census can start on 22nd April provided earlier concerns are addressed.
He however said it was 'highly improbable' that these concerns could be dealt with within seven days and called on the Government of National Unity to defer the census to a later date.
Last week, the GoSS Council of Ministers postponed the census which was due to start on the 15th of this month, citing insecurity, the slow pace of the repatriation of refugees and IDPs and the non-inclusion of ethnicity and religion in the census questionnaires.
