Listeners across South Sudan celebrate Radio Miraya entering last year as teenager
Radio Miraya, a stalwart among South Sudanese broadcasters, is slowly becoming a young adult. What better way to celebrate its 19th anniversary than doing so together with its avid listeners? In Juba, the station did a live broadcast at the Women Union's Centre together with media colleagues, other stakeholders, a crowd of invited Miraya fans and with listeners from across the country interacting with the presenters of the day. It was a day of indulging in decades-old poems and singing and dancing along to songs which, over time, have become milestone moments in the young nation's history. It was indeed a good occasion for a long walk down memory lane. Laurence Ladu Luka, a volunteer teacher, has been closely following the broadcaster's path since 2012, when he was a student in Yei. At the time, he would often schedule his time not to miss his favourite Miraya mainstays, like its Breakfast Show, Nationwide and Roundtable Discussions on the hottest issues of the day, with the latter segment having left a lasting impression. 'The discussions I used to absorb inspired me to follow governance, cultural, social and economic issues, and I still do,' he said, adding that he proudly remembers that he was once also invited to participate in a talk show, speaking about waste management problems in the capital. Never generations have also discovered and joined Radio Miraya's on-air journey. 'You may mostly be working from your studios, far removed from us, but you give a voice to the voiceless, voices and reliable information that reach faraway towns and villages, affecting the lives of young and old people alike. Long may that continue,' said Apen Abraham, a senior student at the Darling Wisdom Academy. His peer Safa Sarif confessed that the live broadcast on the anniversary had a profound impact on her. 'It has made me a fan because now I understand the importance of radio. From now on, I'll be listening closely and learning a lot,' she vowed, pointing to the solar-powered device that she and others in attendance had received. Patricia Okoed, Miraya's Head of Programming, will have been pleased with these testimonies. 'What makes us unique is that we reach 80 per cent of the country, more than anybody else, and hopefully with more to come. Our microphones are open for everyone who wants to tell us and South Sudan about what is going on in their minds and lives,' she said. Radio Miraya is run by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, UNMISS. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).

Men's fashion week highlights: From Jonathan Anderson's debut at Dior to Qasimi's deeply personal show
From relaxed elegance at Prada to Indian influences at Louis Vuitton and the UAE's own Qasimi honouring its founder's legacy with thoughtful, culturally rooted design, we round up the best from the recent men's runway shows in Paris and Milan. Prada At the Deposito at Fondazione Prada in Milan, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons unveiled a collection that marked a clear shift in attitude. Titled A Change of Tone, the show dismantled traditional power dressing, offering a playful, non-conformist take on men's style. The mood was direct yet versatile, celebrating freedom through unexpected pairings. Silhouettes were relaxed, with smart tailoring layered over casual sportswear – think coats over tracksuits or suits eased with sporty zip-ups. Simple cotton trousers paired with crisp white shirts added to the understated charm. Juxtaposed fabrics and textures created depth, while accessories such as pointed rattan hats and subtle jewellery provided finishing touches. Colour was key – primary tones clashed gently with neutrals, gradually softening into pastels paired with navy, brown and grey. Stripes hinted at nautical nostalgia, while utility elements reinforced practicality. Footwear and bags kept things grounded – flip-flops, moccasins, canvas lace-ups, gym bags and backpacks underscored the collection's approachable, laid-back elegance, inviting men to rethink modern dressing. Giorgio Armani For the first time in his remarkable career, Giorgio Armani, 90, was absent from his Milan Fashion Week show, recuperating at home from an undisclosed illness. Yet, his presence was felt in a collection that embodied the relaxed sophistication and timeless elegance synonymous with his house. The runway featured pairs of models (male and female), styled in harmonised looks that subtly blurred gender lines. Soft tailoring, layered knits and airy fabrics created silhouettes that flowed gently, offering lightness and ease. Wide-leg trousers, supple leather, silks and fine cottons underscored the collection's fluid charm. Influences of city and seaside, East and West, combined seamlessly. Subtle checks, abstract sketches and watercolour prints added depth. The palette balanced soft greys with purples and blues, cream with gold and warm desert tones with aquamarine. Suits worn with flip-flops reflected effortless transitions between business and leisure. Accessories echoed the laid-back charm – knotted belts, raffia caps and large fabric bags. Closing the show, Leo Dell'Orco, Armani's trusted head of menswear, paid tribute to a designer whose vision continues to define understated luxury. Qasimi Marking its 10th anniversary, Qasimi debuted its spring/summer 2026 collection in Milan with a deeply reflective presentation. The London-based label, founded by the late Sheikh Khalid Al Qasimi and now helmed by his twin sister Sheikha Hoor Al Qasimi, continues to embody a rich dialogue between its UAE heritage and its base in the UK. The collection explored this dual identity, offering garments that speak to cross-cultural exchange and shared histories. Staying true to the brand's core, the collection was defined by clean lines, oversized silhouettes and a palette of neutral and sandy tones. Long tops and jackets layered over wide trousers created fluid, effortless shapes. Utility-inspired details, including abundant pockets, pleats and zips offered functionality and versatility. Memory nylon – a fabric that records creases that gradually fade – became a striking symbol of lived experience, once again nodding to the very personal influences on this collection. Blazers with zip detailing and multi-functional pieces echoed the balance between smart and casual dressing, while a collaboration with Lebanese artist Dala Nasser added further depth, with raw edges, loose threads and doodle-like embroidery evoking traces of place and memory. The collection felt like a wearable reflection of legacy, adaptability and modern Arab identity. Dior Jonathan Anderson's highly anticipated debut for Dior marked a bold new chapter, as he reinterpreted the house's codes with imaginative flair for the men's spring/summer 2026 collection. Anderson approached the collection as a modern fairytale – romantic yet informed. Capes, tailored waistcoats and Bar jackets with nipped-in waists paid homage to Dior's storied past, while denim shorts, relaxed socks and sandals added a casual, youthful twist. Cable knits and long coats echoed the house's womenswear signatures, blending tradition with fresh energy. There was a sense of dressing up to become a character, with ties, bow ties and 18th and 19th-century-inspired waistcoats anchoring the narrative. Anderson's own design language overlapped subtly with Dior's, creating a dialogue between aristocratic elegance and modern spontaneity. The colour palette spanned soft neutrals to vibrant greens, pinks and blues. Thoughtful details – rococo-inspired Diorette charms, delicate rose embroideries and playful tailoring – ensured Monsieur Dior's romantic spirit remained central, as Anderson recoded the house's language with informed creativity. Louis Vuitton Presented at Paris's Centre Pompidou on a striking show space by Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai - a life-size tribute to the ancient Indian board game Snakes and Ladders - Louis Vuitton's spring/summer 2026 menswear was a tribute to modern Indian sartorialism, explored through the Louis Vuitton lens. With an offering that felt more grown-up than recent seasons, Pharrell Williams delivered smarter dressing without losing the edgy twist that has defined his tenure so far. The collection blended rich material, colours, and craftsmanship rooted in Indian culture. Tailoring took centre stage, with L.V.M monograms adorning blazers that hinted at a more serious, elevated take on suiting. The palette - navy, brown, burgundy, khaki, pink - drew inspiration from Indian landscapes and vibrant sunsets. Denim, cable knits, pyjama stripes, and polo shirts combined preppy and street style. Shell jackets, fleece blousons, and hiking boots nod to Indian mountaineering culture, elevated with heritage patterns, hand-embroidered stones, micro-beads, and lace. The Darjeeling Limited motif, which was created by Louis Vuitton for the film of the same name in 2007, was included in a collection for the first time, presented on garments and bags, merging travel, cinema, and craftsmanship.
