Solongo Cartoon: The Gate at Bilpam

Solongo uses a satirical gate at Bilpam to contrast military education with the presence of warlords and militias.

Solongo cartoon showing a crossed-out Military College sign at Bilpam and a gate marked Warlords and Militias — Artwork by Solongo · Editorial satire. The drawing conveys the artist’s opinion and does not document an actual admission policy or identify a specific person.

Caption: “At Bilpam, which gate is open: professional military education or the politics of armed patronage?”

The cartoon invites debate about professionalisation and the place of armed groups in South Sudan’s security sector. It should not be read as a factual claim that a named institution admits or excludes any individual.
