3214: Spotlight: Pontus Joseph Pog Njenom Reflects on his UNV experience in South Sudan

On this episode of Spotlight, host Moro Lokombo speaks with Pontus Joseph Pog Njenom, a Cameroonian UNMISS Human Rights Officer, in a warm and fun conversation about UNV life in South Sudan, mixing jokes with real reflections. Pontus explains that joining UNV was his pathway into the UN system and shares how the experience shaped him through field and HQ exposure, including two years in Rumbek, where he worked closely with communities, supported the justice chain, and contributed to training for security and law enforcement. He speaks about challenges like being away from family and enduring long patrols without power, water, or internet, but says the field experience remains his best memory because it showed him the realities of conflict and the impact of UN support.
