This dissertation explores the role of freedom of expression and press freedom in South Sudan’s democratization process. It examines how constitutional and legal frameworks, along with regulatory bodies like the South Sudan National Security Service (SSNSS) and the South Sudan National Communication Authority (SSNCA), impact media freedom and public discourse. Despite constitutional guarantees, South Sudan faces significant challenges in maintaining an environment conducive to freedom of expression, with widespread instances of media censorship, arbitrary detentions, and surveillance of journalists and critics. This study highlights the essential role of press freedom in democratic governance, assessing international and national standards and analyzing specific cases of media suppression. The findings underscore the need for legal reforms and stronger institutional protections to uphold press freedom and support the democratic aspirations of South Sudan.
