  The video was widely shared on social media last month, prompting questions over the 71-year-old president’s state of health and fitness to govern a nation grappling with conflict, starvation and climate change. But it also sparked fierce debate over the ethics of posting such footage on social media and allegations of lack of empathy towards an elder.
  
  This isn't difficult. If you are running a country then you are fair game for mockery. Too old for derision? Piss and get off the pot.
context: Arresting the journalists just looks like wetting himself again politically speaking. >
  
  strong streisand effect with this one >
  
  Man I wouldn’t even have known or ever cared to watch the video clip if not for the over reaction.
  Also, always wear black pants, no exceptions. >

  Don't >
  
  Oh man everyone sees it but no one wants to acknowledge it >

  Six journalists arrested for filming South Sudan president watering >

  Looks like Barbara is trying to chloroform him. >
  
  But for real, imagine you are vomiting and someone tries to shut your mouth. Thats not helping at all. Afterwards they even lie him on the back. Its like showing what not to do when someone throws up >

  The kazoo band makes it so much better >
  
  It does feel weird knowing that I might be able to move to Sudan and be the countries greatest alto saxophone player with my 7 years of training from 6-12th grade like 20 years ago. >
  
  This is South Sudan. Sudan is a different country that presumably has better sax players. >
  
  Sudan could, but Egypt certainly doesn’t >
  
  If peeing your pants is cool, consider me ~~Miles Davis~~ the president of South Sudan. >
  
  I, for one, appreciate knowing the fact that the President of South Sudan leans left. >
  
  Most guys do, ask your friends . >
  
  I would honestly like to know if this is true tho, and why if true >
  
  I have previously worked with South Sudan and I distinctly remember being told by someone in the know that it was important that all audience with Salva Kiir and his... officials (read: militia, and that's being generous) had to be conducted before noon. Why? Because by early afternoon they would already be too drunk to get anything done.
  Hard to say if that is the reason for what is happening here but I wouldn't say it's unlikely. >
  
  I worked with an ambassador to South Sudan from my home country, and their office had the Minster of International Development (in charge of millions of $s in foreign aid being sent there) visit the country. Set aside a meeting with Salva Kiir’s office for a specific time slot and everything months in advance. 
  Time comes for the Minster to visit, and the President’s office forgot that they were coming. Thankfully, the Minster wanted to visit Bentiu and Malakal, so that burned a couple days. 
  Comes back to Juba for the new appointment time, and not only are they not given an official greeting, they are practically harassed for daring to show up. Made to wait for about 2 hours in a closet-like room, and then finally get the visit for about 15 minutes. 
  Definitely an interesting time being there. I had official foreign military badging, and was one of the few permitted to carry a sidearm in public. Tried to keep to myself in public, but when the people see you as a walking moneybag, you tend to stick out very easily. >
  
  Very interesting story >
  
  Dug deeper and apparently this guy always wears a black cowboy hat because W gave him one during a White House visit >
  
  Too bad Trump didn't gift him some diapers. >
  
  He used them all up while playing tennis >
  
  I wonder if he's actually incontinent, or of the daily fast food intake makes him shit liquid. >
  
  Por que no los dos? >
  
  What did the editor of the South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation say to his journalists when he called them into his office?

  Which one of you leaked this? >
  
  "Frankly, I'm pissed." >
  
  "This is amateur hour, people. You're all wet behind the ears." >
  
  Give em break, it's like pissing up a rope trying to come up with these. >
  
  Born in 1951 - might have prostate problems resulting in an accident. He's 71. I'd give him slack over that.
  From brushing through his wikipedia article i don't think i'd give him slack for the murders and oppression though. >
  
  He should wear Depends like Trump. >
  
  Good for Trump tbh >
  
  Yeah, plenty to rip trump on without mocking all incontinent elderly people. >
  
  Thats fine, but they shouldn't be running countries. >
  
  Incontinence doesn't interfere with someone's ability to run a country. That's not why Trump was so bad. >
  
  Now we know for sure the video is real. 🤷‍♂️👏 >
  
  Streisand effect in 3…2…1… >
  
  Seriously. I didn't know the South Sudan president wet himself on camera until I read this topic. >
  
  If you had asked me about South Sudan’s president 5 minutes ago I woulda had nuthin for ya, but if you ask me now I’d be like ya I saw him piss himself. >
  
  His hat was a gift from Bush Jr and he wears it basically everywhere all the time. >
  
  Honestly, I find that kind of adorable, how much someone can cherish a gift. >
  
  My mans cherishes that hat like he's a Holy Roman Emperor that got his crown from the Pope himself. >
  
  Lol, honestly, I'm thinking of if President Obama gave me a piece of clothing or accessory.
  I might wear it entirely too much too. >
  
  This gets you arrested in South Sudan, apparently. >
  
  Careful or else all of social media gets arrested. >
  
  Streisand effect in action >
  
  Hey guys, six journalists arrested over footage of SOUTH SUDAN PRESIDENT WETTING HIMSELF >
  
  Sounds like one of them was killed. 😬 >
  
  why would anyone share such a video? >
  
  How do we know it's piss?  And not liquid diarrhea? >
  
  People really do make too many assumptions these days. Society is kind of disappointing. >
  
  Holy shit. I was ready to just let it ride because he was a horrible person but I knew he was just going to have the same lap stain I get every other day from speed bumps and a love of coffee
  But no. Undeniable, inexorable piss progression. What a time to be alive. Someone wished for a very specific super power and we are seeing the first dictator victim. >
  
  Once again, a comment I think that is absolute gold will likely go highly unnoticed.
  You captured everything I wanted to say, but then capped it off the with the superpower theory, which makes so much goddam sense, and opens a whole new possibility of greatness for the future. >
