By BBCMore by this AuthorThe authorities in South Sudan have shut down the BBC’s FM relay stations in the capital, Juba, and in Wau. A top South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) official, Magok Chilim, said the BBC had ignored requests to “pay arrears”, despite a reminder in January. He threatened to sue the BBC should the broadcaster not pay its bill. In a statement, the BBC said it regretted SSBC’s decision to stop broadcasting "its news services to an audience of more than 400,000 in South Sudan”.
