A major investigation has revealed Australian links to a complex web of war profiteering from the deadly conflict in South Sudan. The probe was conducted by "The Sentry" a non-profit group headed by actors George Clooney and Don Cheadle. It claimed to uncover evidence of the President, Vice President and others amassing overseas fortunes through murky business deals. Also mentioned in the report is Lawrence Lual Malong Yor Jr whose connection to both President Kiir and current chief of General Staff was questioned. Lual Malong Yor who called himself The Young Tycoon became the face of The Sentry report because of his expensive dressing or being seen using a private jet. To help understand him, we conducted this interview on SBS Dinka Radio.
