🔴 NEWS ALERT: South Sudan Grounds Four UNMISS Aircraft Over Security, Smuggling Claims

JUBA – The government of South Sudan has grounded four aircraft associated with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) following an investigation into allegations of illegal surveillance and the smuggling of natural resources.

Foreign Affairs Minister Monday Semaya Kumba announced the decision on Saturday, detailing the findings to heads of foreign missions in Juba.

National Security Breach Alleged
The government’s investigation committee report revealed two key sets of findings:

Two aircraft, identified as UNO-570P and UNO-571P, were allegedly found to be equipped with Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) systems and missile-protection equipment. Minister Kumba described this as a “very serious security matter.”

Two other aircraft, UNO-535P and UNO-536P, were reportedly involved in smuggling sandalwood between South Sudan and neighboring Sudan.
Government’s Position

The final report from the investigation committee led directly to the grounding of the four aircraft.

The Minister clarified that the government is not accusing UNMISS itself, but rather the aircraft operators and contractors working under arrangements with the United Nations.

Kumba confirmed the findings have been shared with UNMISS, which stated it had no prior knowledge of the illegal activities. The government insists that the grounded aircraft issue be "treated separately" from ongoing discussions about the UNMISS contingency plan.

The grounding marks a significant escalation in the government's stance on UNMISS operations and the control of its national airspace and resources.

🛑 BREAKING: SSNBS Seizes Smuggled Maize Flour at Nesitu Contaminated with Deadly Aflatoxins

JUBA – The South Sudan National Bureau of Standards (SSNBS) has announced the successful seizure of a smuggled consignment of maize flour at Nesitu Station after crucial laboratory testing revealed dangerously high levels of contamination.

In a public health alert, the SSNBS confirmed that the maize flour contained 36.7 parts per billion (ppb) of aflatoxins, a level significantly exceeding safety thresholds and posing a severe risk of liver disease and cancer to consumers.

Dangerous Level Intercepted
The intercepted level of 36.7 ppb is far above the typical allowable limits for total aflatoxins in food, which are often set at 10 ppb or less under regional East African Community (EAC) standards.

"This interception is a critical measure to protect our citizens from a known carcinogen," a SSNBS official stated, emphasizing that the consignment was being smuggled, suggesting an attempt to bypass official entry points and mandatory quality checks.

Aflatoxins: The Silent Threat
Aflatoxins are highly toxic compounds produced by mold that commonly grows on staple crops like maize under improper storage conditions.

Chronic consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated food is a primary risk factor for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (liver cancer) and can also impair child growth and suppress the immune system.
SSNBS Vows Action

The successful seizure highlights the SSNBS's intensifying surveillance efforts at entry points to combat the illegal import of non-compliant and dangerous food products.

Authorities are expected to either mandate the re-export of the entire consignment to its country of origin or oversee the public destruction of the contaminated flour to ensure none of it reaches the South Sudanese market.

The Bureau continues to urge all importers and traders to adhere strictly to national and regional quality standards to safeguard public health and prevent the confiscation and loss of non-compliant goods.

NEWS ALERT: Dr. Machar's Allies Reject 2026 Election Plan

The SPLM-IO faction loyal to suspended First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar has rejected a presidential decision to hold national elections by December 2026, calling the meeting that endorsed the plan illegitimate and unrepresentative.

The group stated that Dr. Machar was excluded while under house arrest and that no mainstream SPLM-IO representatives attended. It also opposed the reconstitution of the High-Level Standing Committee, claiming it left the faction without representation.

SPLM-IO declared any amendments to the 2018 peace agreement made without its approval null and void, warning that pushing elections before implementing key reforms such as security arrangements, constitution-making, and a national census could endanger peace and stability.

NEWS ALERT: M23 fighters have seized Uvira in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, forcing residents to sweep the streets after the city's capture, locals told AFP.

The Rwanda-backed militia took the city as part of a South Kivu offensive launched in December, following earlier gains in Goma and Bukavu.

Uvira's fall gives M23 control of a key border crossing with Burundi, cutting off Kinshasa from regional military support.

The advance has displaced about 200,000 people, many fleeing into Burundi, and has raised concerns over civilian casualties.

The takeover also undermines a recent US-brokered peace deal between DR Congo and Rwanda.

🚨 Public Awareness: Understanding the Legal Basis of South Sudan's Administrative Areas.

This is a critical topic for every citizen to understand, as the legal basis of our administrative structure affects governance, resource allocation, and political stability.

The legal status of South Sudan's three Administrative Areas, Abyei, Pibor, and Ruweng, is fundamentally different. This difference is rooted in the source of the authority that created them.

1. The Constitutionally Protected Area: Abyei
Abyei has a unique and more secure legal standing, primarily because its status is anchored directly within the nation's supreme law.

| Key Fact | Legal Basis | Stability

| Status | Accorded a special administrative status under the Transitional Constitution of the Republic of South Sudan, 2011 (as amended). High requires a constitutional amendment or the resolution of the Sudan-South Sudan dispute to change.

Administration: Administered through the Office of the President pending a final solution to its status (due to the dispute with Sudan). | Its inclusion in the Constitution makes it an integral part of the legal text.

2. The Presidentially Decreed Areas: Pibor and Ruweng

The status of Pibor and Ruweng is based on a Presidential Order, not directly on a Constitutional provision, leading to questions about their permanence.

| Key Fact | Legal Basis | Stability

| Status | Established by a Presidential Order/Decree (part of the 2020 compromise to return to 10 states). Theoretically, it can be revoked or reversed by a subsequent Presidential Decree, similar to how the 32 states were dissolved.

Vulnerability: They currently rely on the National Constitution and the Presidential Order to operate, rather than their own, ratified Constitutions.

Their existence as Administrative Areas is tied to the political process rather than a permanent legal text.

Why This Matters for Governance
The distinction between a constitutional status (Abyei) and a decree-based status (Pibor and Ruweng) is the difference between a permanent feature of the political landscape and a reversible administrative decision:

Legal Security: Areas created by decree lack the legal permanence that a Constitutional provision provides.

Legitimacy: The lack of their own local constitutions for Pibor and Ruweng means their governance structures may face continuous legal scrutiny regarding their legitimacy and administrative boundaries.

Political Instability: Since the decree-based areas are perceived as revocable, they can continue to be a source of political conflict and negotiation among the parties to the peace agreement.

Citizens and leaders must advocate for the necessary constitutional amendments to stabilize the status of all administrative areas and ensure a clear, legal framework for decentralized governance.

RSF commander linked by BBC Verify to Sudan massacre sanctioned in the UK

BBC Abu Lulu imposed over a scene from the massacre near el-Fasher. BBC
A Sudanese paramilitary commander, whose role in the el-Fasher massacre was revealed by BBC Verify, has been sanctioned by the UK government.

Brig Gen Al-Fateh Abdullah Idris, also known as Abu Lulu, was filmed shooting dead at least 10 unarmed captives after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized the city in late October.

Thousands of people are believed to have been killed by the RSF after the army withdrew from el-Fasher. UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said the atrocities taking place in Sudan were "a scar on the conscience of the world" which "cannot, and will not, go unpunished."

The UK has also sanctioned three other RSF commanders, including deputy head Abdul Rahim Hamdan Dagalo.

Dagalo, who was also placed under EU sanctions in November, was shown in verified footage touring an army base in the city in the hours after el-Fasher fell. He is the brother of RSF chief Mohamed "Hemedti" Dagalo.

Sudan's civil war - sparked after the RSF and the military's fragile ruling coalition collapsed - has now raged for more than two years, killing hundreds of thousands of people and displacing millions more.

El-Fasher was the army's last major foothold in Darfur, the traditional stronghold of the RSF paramilitary.

An investigation by BBC Verify revealed the brutal tactics used by the RSF during the protracted siege, which included detaining and torturing people trying to smuggle supplies into the city and building a massive sand barrier around it to prevent civilians and army troops from escaping.

In its statement announcing the sanctions, the UK Foreign Office said it believed that Abu Lulu was "responsible for violence against individuals based on ethnicity and religion, and the deliberate targeting of civilians.

Footage confirmed by BBC Verify in October showed Abu Lulu executing several unarmed captives with an AK-style rifle in a sandy, dusty area north-west of the city. RSF troops who witnessed the incidents were later seen celebrating their commander's actions.

UK officials accused Abu Lulu, Dagalo, Gedo Hamdan Ahmed, and Tijani Ibrahim Moussa Mohamed of carrying out "heinous" acts of violence, including mass killings, systematic sexual violence, and deliberate attacks on civilians. The men have been placed under travel bans and any assets they hold will be frozen.

"Today's sanctions against RSF commanders strike directly at those with blood on their hands, while our strengthened aid package will deliver lifesaving support to those suffering," Cooper said.

Citing satellite images - previously published by Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab - the foreign office said piles of bodies and mass graves could be seen in el-Fasher after the massacre.

Cooper also pledged an additional £21m to provide food, shelter, and health services for civilians impacted by fighting in remote areas.

In the days that followed the el-Fasher massacre, RSF leader Gen Mohamed "Hemedti" Dagalo admitted that his troops had committed "violations" and said the incidents would be investigated.

Among those arrested was Abu Lulu. In a carefully choreographed and edited video posted on the RSF's official Telegram account, he is shown being led into a cell at a prison, which was geolocated by BBC Verify to the outskirts of el-Fasher.

The commander, who previously featured heavily in propaganda videos posted online, has not been seen since his arrest. A TikTok account that documented his activities was removed by the company in October after BBC Verify approached the tech giant for comment.

The UK's move comes just two days after the US announced its own set of sanctions against a network of companies and individuals it accused of recruiting former Colombian soldiers and training individuals to fight in Sudan's civil war.

The US Treasury Department said that hundreds of Colombian mercenaries have travelled to Sudan since 2024, including to serve as infantry and drone pilots for the RSF.

Last month, US President Donald Trump pledged to "start working on Sudan" alongside Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, posting on social media that "tremendous atrocities" were taking place.

Leek Community Accuses Ruweng of Land Encroachment in Unity State.

The Leek Community Association, based in Unity State, has issued a strong statement accusing the Ruweng Administrative Area authorities of attempting to seize land belonging to Rubkotna County, describing the move as being "tribalism and greed driven by resource interests."

The community asserts that the areas of Payangay, Roriak, Chotjok (Unity Oil Field), and Yaak (Heglig) are located entirely within Budang Payam of Rubkotna County.

The association dismissed Ruweng's claims to the land as "politically motivated."

The group criticized the National Minister of Information for allegedly changing his stance following pressure from Ruweng authorities.

The association questioned why the Ruweng Chief Administrator welcomed CDF Gen. Paul Nang in the disputed areas, warning that such actions pose a threat to peaceful relations.

The Leek Community reaffirmed that the borders between Rubkotna and Parieng County (now part of Ruweng) have been clearly defined since the colonial era.

The statement, signed by William Wicjal Wuor, Chairman of the Leek Community Association, urged national leaders to intervene and address the issue, cautioning that the continuation of these land claims could lead to an escalation of tensions.
