Six South Sudanese journalists have been detained for circulating footage of President Salva Kiir wetting himself

South Sudan’s national journalists union said the journalists, who work with the state-run South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation, were detained on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The footage from a national event in December showed a dark stain spread down the 71-year-old’s grey trousers.

At the time, President Salva Kiir was standing for the national anthem at a road commissioning event.

The video never aired on television but has been circulated on social media.

Kiir has been South Sudan’s president since the nation gained independence in 2011.

However, the country has been embroiled in conflict for much of the past decade.

Government officials have repeatedly denied rumours circulating on social media he is unwell.

The detained journalists are camera operators Joseph Oliver and Mustafa Osman; video editor Victor Lado; contributor Jacob Benjamin; and Cherbek Ruben and Joval Toombe from the control room.

South Sudanese authorities are allowed to detain suspects for only 24 hours before bringing them before a judge.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.
