The Associated Press published on 19 May 2022 an article titled "Century-old Canal Project Sparks Opposition in South Sudan" by Deng Machol.
The government of South Sudan is considering revival of construction of the Jonglei Canal on the White Nile to prevent flooding and improve infrastructure. It would also increase the volume of water reaching Sudan and Egypt. But there is opposition to the project, which some believe to be a catastrophic environmental and social disaster for South Sudan's Sudd wetlands.
