  He needs a better spinner. He's wearing a Cowboy Hat FFS. He didn't soil himself... His crotch was weeping for freedom and stuff! Oh wait, wrong thread...annnnnnd cut to American President Bush losing his cookies. Now THAT is Spin Doctor.
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. >

  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 >

  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. >

  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. >

  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. >
  
  Your comment is worth a thousand upvotes. >
  
  
  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. >
  
  Probably should have spent more time pissing off on the pot that day >
  
  You know, I didn't even know or care about Salva Kiir peeing his pants like a little boy, but now that he's being a little bitch about it, I have learned that Salva Kiir, the president of South Sudan, has peed his pants in public.
  From now on, every time I hear the name Salva Kiir, I remember that he is a little boy that pees his pants in public and then throws a temper tantrum against free journalism. Maybe Salva Kiir should consider wearing a diaper next time he drags his incontinent ass out of the nursing home. >
  
  Seriously, have dictators always been such petty little bitches?
  Xi hates being compared to Winnie the Pooh, Putin looks more like an actual Lich by the month, and Kim Jong Un is a fat douche with a ridiculous haircut. There's also that middle Eastern guy who's obsessed with horses to a frankly worrying degree, who tried to block footage of himself falling off a horse during a race. >
  
  The man's in his 70s. Urinary incontinence and prostrate problems are a thing.
  Which really means that journalists shouldn't be arrested over a medical problem. >
  
  Look I live in a similar country (Nigeria) , obviously it's dumb to be arrested for such things , but the people in chanrge aren't really "elected" , in sudan he has been in power for 11 years .
  So it's a dictatorship , where it's honesty best not to have any Job close to him because those journalists will probably be abused and tortured until they're held to face a kangeroo trial. >
  
  Awful.
  And terribly sad because it's just a medical problem. >
  
  Westerners don't know the luxury they have living in countries where their rights are respected.
  Here in africa , almost all (not all) countries have bullshit political heads that are worms , who embody corruption and abuse of power.
  Here in Nigeria this year will be "elections" , which means a lot of people are going to die , as those running will send their dogs to go kill each other , so they can put things to be in their favor. >
  
  Sorry my dude.  Hope something better finds you. >
  
  Can you name the president of South Sudan?.... Nope but I've watched a video where he wet himself. >
  
  Sounds like he was pissed off >
  
  Better to be pissed off than pissed on, I always say. >
  
  He's both. >
  
  Damn, this really got me interested in seeing a video about him wetting himself.
  Why did you do this to yourself? And me?
  Maybe he gets some weird kicks out of this. >
  
  What Elementary School Band was that? >
  
  The Lesson here is:
  Don't hold your Pee.
  Just don't even try, especially if you have issues with your Prostate.
  That was an awful lot off Pee......he was holdin' it, lol
  Maybe no time to go to the Loo? >
  
  I thought holding it a little was good practice. Like a use it or lose it type thing. >
  
  I think the same way. My logic is if I train myself to pee at the slightest urge then I’m never going to be able to comfortably hold in a moderate amount. >
  
  I don't ever have to pee until I'm some place where accessing a restroom is inconvenient if not damn near impossible.
  I can literally hold my piss all day until I don't have a choice but to hold it. Like, I'll not need to piss for hours, but as soon as someone occupies the bathroom pissing somehow becomes an urgency, lol. I think it's psychological.
  And what's worse, it's a crime to piss in public, but cities make it so fucking hard to find places to pee.
  It honestly pisses me off. It took me way too long earlier to find a restroom earlier when I was in the city. >
  
  This is the best Barbara Streisand effect ever, everyone already forgot about it but not now, now the whole world will watch this man wetting himself over and over, people who never even heard of all the crimes against humanity the barbarous behavior all of that will be forgotten, now he will be known as the pee pee president, what a legacy. >
  
  Rappers wear them! >
  
  lol the military really decided this is the guy they wanted? >
  
  He should take a note out of Trump's playbook and wear depends. Then he can piss himself silly and no one will be the wiser. >
  
  So, the President was the source of the leak, but the journos get arrested for reporting the leak? >
  
  Sounds like that footage needs to go viral >
  
  
  go viral
  
  oooh, I didn't know he had a urinary tract infection too... sad. >
  
  See. The government arresting you for reporting, that's taking away your freedom of speech. Their transitional constitution even guarantees freedom of the press. But now the journalists are arrested.
  ​
  They weren't banned from Twitter. >
  
  The music seems appropriate. >
  
  I wonder what the police said to those journalists. 'Urine trouble?' >
  
  Streisand effect >
  
  Before Zimbabwe had Robert Mugabe as President, they had Canaan Banana. After a couple of years in office he made it illegal to make joke about his name. If you were caught you were not allowed to a peel. >
  
  President Lahey >
  
  He should have known better than to wear a light colored trouser. If it was black, no one would have noticed. >
  
  Maybe at first, but the liquid trail flowing away from his foot would be a pretty obvious clue >
  
  There would have been plausible deniability, like maybe the “water cushioned” sole of his shoe ruptured, or water was seeping in from a crack in the road (I know these are pretty lame excuses, but as long as most of South Sudan believes it, it shouldn’t matter to the king). >
  
  He could still say something like that. He had a small water bottle tucked in his waist and it leaked. Ya know? >
  
  But you know when you can't use those lame excuses? After you arrest journalist, lol. >
  
  I guess the video pissed him off. >
  
  Thank you Barbara Streisand for letting us know about the South Sudanese president wetting himself in public. >
  
  “You release 1 piss video and suddenly urine trouble” >
  
  Talk about leaked footage. >
  
  Now everyone in the world will be watching now because he arrested the journalist haha what an idiot.  Down with Tyrants 🪢 >
  
  Piss n' boots >
  
  He's taking the piss here. >
  
  I can't wait for the south park episode of this. >
  
  Its well known that if you make a big deal about something on the internet people will forget about it faster /s >
  
  I initially felt bad when I heard about him wetting himself. But if you're going to arrest journalists over it? No sympathy. >
  
  Such fragile egos for these leaders.  
  Alright you pissed yourself, go change your depends and go on with your day.  Maybe cut back on the soft drinks before an important visit. >
  
  while trying to find this video on YouTube, i ended up finding a clip of a female weight lifter peeing while lifting weights 💀 >
  
  Statement from the president after.

  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 78%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  Six journalists have been detained by South Sudan security forces over viral footage of the country's president apparently urinating on himself, a press freedom watchdog has reported.
  On Friday, the Committee to Protect Journalists reported that six journalists for the state-run South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation had been detained by the country's National Security Service under suspicion of an unauthorised release of the footage.
  The Union of Journalists of South Sudan - which had initially denied reports that journalists had been arrested over the video - called for a "Speedy conclusion" to the investigation.

  Didn’t realize he was still president*, if I recall the hat was a present from George W. Bush, or at least he received a hat like that from him. >
  
  National Security should not have gone as far as to detain the journalist just because they decided to hone in on that scene 🎬, but also the journalists should have had some decency and avoided adding to the humiliation he must have experienced. >
  
  I think it's probably pretty concerning when your President doesn't even know he's pissing his pants. >
  
  And he's still wearing that shitty hat George W Bush gave him >

  Mr. President, unjail your prisoners. At some point, we've all done this. I did so twice (granted I was six) and the pledge of allegiance was the first thing we did every morning. Shit happens. Move on. incontinence happens. Don't be a fucktard and try to punish others for your human body doing what it does. >

  It's the Barbra Streisand effect. >
  
  As someone who has peed on himself a couple of times as a consequence of prostate cancer and treatment, I have the utmost sympathy with this man. If I had been on camera it would have been mortifying. This is a human mini-tragedy.
  His response, however, and that of his security staff or whomever, has been utterly unacceptable. >
  
  lol when i first saw it i thought, "the person directly filming the piss stream and the man kneeling to take dick-level shots are probably going to be in a bit of trouble" >
  
  I saw the hat was curious if it was actually a cowboy hat. While iconic, cowboy hats are not all that common outside certain regions of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. So apparently he always wears that cowboy hat which was a gift from George W. Bush. Now you know.
