Deputy Governor Justin Joseph Marona, who also serves as the interim SPLM-IO Chairperson in Western Equatoria in middle during a press conference in Yambio.

YAMBIO – The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-In-Opposition (SPLM-IO), led by suspended first vice president, Dr. Riek Machar Teny, in Western Equatoria State on Saturday, accused the state government of breaching the 2018 peace deal following a major reshuffle that saw the appointment of a new mayor and the removal of 17 Director-Generals without consultation.

The changes, announced on Thursday, 27 November, included the appointment of Fozia Abbas Barnaba Bangasu of the SPLM-In-Government (SPLM-IG) as the new Mayor of Yambio Municipality, replacing John Singira, who is from the SPLM-IO.

According to the SPLM-IO, 17 Directors from various state ministries and bureaus were also dismissed and replaced by SPLM-IG members in what they describe as a unilateral action.

Deputy Governor Justin Joseph Marona, who also serves as the interim SPLM-IO Chairperson in Western Equatoria, said the reshuffle violates the power-sharing arrangements agreed upon under the R-ARCSS, which requires all parties to consult when altering major administrative structures.

Marona stated that the political arrangement regarding the governor position being assigned to SPLM and the deputy position to SPLM-IO, along with the restructuring of lower government bodies, was carried out without consultation with the SPLM-IO leadership.

He said that the unfilled Deputy Commissioner position of the Revenue Authority indicates the ongoing tensions between the two parties.

The Deputy Governor emphasized that Director General positions fall under super scale grade one and cannot be lawfully changed without following public service regulations, including the formation of a presale committee by the Council of Ministers.

“These appointments must follow proper procedures. What has happened is a total violation of the peace agreement and the public service laws,” he said.

He reaffirmed SPLM-IO’s commitment to the full implementation of the 2018 peace deal.

He noted that the agreement was signed to end years of political conflict and reduce recurrent disputes between SPLM-IO and SPLM, which have historically triggered political instability in several states.

He warned that unilateral actions risk reopening old divisions and undermining the fragile peace and reforms intended ahead of the 2026 general elections.

Efforts to obtain a comment from the SPLM leadership in Western Equatoria State were unsuccessful, as they had not responded by the time of publication.

Senior Four National Exams Set to Begin Tomorrow for Over 44,000 Candidates.

JUBA— A major milestone in South Sudan's academic calendar is set to commence tomorrow, December 1st, 2025, as over 44,000 candidates are scheduled to sit for the Certificate of Secondary Education (CSE), commonly known as the Senior Four national examinations.

The high-stakes examinations will run for nine days, concluding on Tuesday, December 9th, 2025.

According to the South Sudan National Examinations Council (SSNEC):
Total Registered Candidates: 44,364 candidates have been registered to take the CSE this year. This number aligns closely with the figure you provided.
Gender Breakdown: The candidates comprise 25,863 males (58%) and 18,501 females (42%).

The examinations are being administered across numerous centers nationwide, with security and supervision prioritized to ensure fairness and prevent malpractice.

The start of the Senior Four exams follows closely after the conclusion of the Certificate of Primary Education (CPE) exams, which ran from November 24th to November 29th, 2025.

The Ministry of General Education and Instruction (MoGEI) has consistently issued strict warnings to both candidates and invigilators, emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy for exam cheating and leakage. Security organs are usually heavily involved to ensure the integrity of the process.

This period is critical for the nation's youth, as the results of the CSE determine eligibility for university admission and future career paths.

🚨 BREAKING: New Police Chief Bans Boda-Bodas, Rickshaws on Key Juba Road.

JUBA— The newly appointed Inspector General of Police (IGP), General Said Chawuol Lom, has issued a sweeping and immediate directive banning all commercial motorcycles (boda-bodas) and three-wheeled taxis (rickshaws/tuk-tuks) from using the highly sensitive J1 road in the nation's capital.

The directive marks one of the first major policy pronouncements from Gen. Lom since his recent appointment to the top police post, signaling a strong focus on enhancing security and traffic control in high-profile areas of Juba.

While no official reason was immediately released for the ban, the J1 road is crucial as it leads directly to the Presidential Palace (J1) and other government ministries.

Previous restrictions on this route have consistently been justified on the grounds of national security, protecting government installations, and managing the severe traffic congestion that plagues the capital.
The ban is expected to be enforced immediately by police and traffic personnel stationed near the route.

The prohibition will directly affect thousands of riders who rely on the road as a vital artery for transporting goods and commuters across Juba. Commuters and pedestrians should expect major adjustments to their travel routes and potentially longer journey times.

Major Shift in Juba Transport
Boda-bodas and rickshaws serve as the primary mode of public transportation for the vast majority of Juba residents. The new directive forces these operators to reroute, pushing the high volume of traffic onto alternative, already congested side streets.

The directive comes amidst a history of police efforts to impose strict new operational guidelines on the commercial motor sector, including mandatory helmet rules, age restrictions for riders, and limits on the number of passengers.

The national police authority has not yet issued a detailed statement regarding the penalty for non-compliance or a grace period for riders to adjust to the new restriction.

⚠️ CLASH IN NIGERIA SENATE: Abaribe Confronts Northern Colleague Over 'Kanu Will Die in Prison' Remark

ABUJA, F.C.T. – Drama erupted in the Senate chamber today following a heated and volatile verbal exchange between Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe (Abia South) and a northern counterpart, who allegedly made a provocative statement regarding the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The confrontation reportedly occurred during a plenary session after the unnamed northern lawmaker allegedly declared that "Nnamdi Kanu will die in prison and nothing will happen," a remark that immediately drew the ire of Senator Abaribe, a long-standing advocate for Kanu's political release.

Chamber Descends Into Shouting
Eyewitnesses and sources within the National Assembly confirmed that Senator Abaribe rose sharply from his seat, reacting with visible outrage to the provocative comment.

"You do not speak carelessly about a man whose case is before the court," Abaribe was quoted as shouting, warning the senator never to repeat such statements. "Nigeria is already too fragile for such reckless statements."

The tense exchange quickly escalated, with the chamber momentarily descending into a shouting match as other lawmakers rushed forward to prevent the confrontation from turning physical.

Plea for Restraint

Another senator, intervening to restore order to the volatile session, was heard appealing to the lawmakers for decorum.
"This is the National Assembly, not a battlefield," the senator pleaded.

"We must show restraint, even when we disagree." The Senate President quickly intervened, calling the chamber to order before the legislative proceedings could resume. The specific identity of the northern senator involved in the clash remains undisclosed.

Context: The Kanu Case

The incident highlights the high sensitivity surrounding the issue of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's prolonged detention and ongoing trial for treasonable felony.

Senator Abaribe has consistently been at the forefront of the political push for the Federal Government to seek a non-judicial, political solution to secure Kanu's release, arguing that it is essential for restoring peace and economic stability in the South-East region.

The alleged provocative remark and the subsequent clash underscore the deep political and ethnic polarization that the Kanu issue continues to fuel within Nigeria's highest legislative body.

UN BEGINS CONTINGENCY DRAWDOWN IN SOUTH SUDAN.

November 28, 2025 JUBA

The South Sudanese government has announced that it has begun implementing a coordinated drawdown of United Nations peacekeeping forces in the country, a process it said agreed with the UN mission.

The move follows what the UN has described as “severe financial constraints” affecting its global operations.

Speaking at a press briefing on Friday in the capital, Juba, foreign ministry spokesperson Apuk Ayuel Mayen said the “Downsizing Contingency Plan” was being managed through a joint committee with the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).

The reduction is expected to affect between 15% and 19% of the UN staff in the country, though detailed figures have not been made public.

The UN has been a key presence in South Sudan since it gained independence in 2011 and has played a crucial role in protecting civilians amid periods of intense conflict.

A Fragile Peace

This drawdown comes as the world’s youngest nation attempts to maintain a fragile peace following a brutal five-year civil war that ended in 2018.

The UN Security Council extended the UNMISS mandate for another year in May, maintaining a troop ceiling of 17,000 soldiers and 2,101 police personnel.

However, last month, the South Sudanese government made a formal demand for a much deeper 70% cut to international military contingents. It also called for the grounding of intelligence-gathering aircraft and the closure of several military bases and civilian protection sites.

The current, more modest, reduction appears to be the initial phase of a negotiated compromise.

Spokesperson Apuk confirmed that the joint committee had met on 25 November and that repatriation flights for departing peacekeepers began on 28 November.

Diplomatic Engagements

Ms Apuk also highlighted a month of diplomatic engagements, noting that senior officials had represented the country at international summits in Doha and Guinea to promote investment.

During a question-and-answer session, journalists raised concerns about several sensitive issues, including unpaid arrears affecting South Sudan’s foreign missions and the recent brief closure of its embassy in Kenya.

Apuk declined to comment on these matters, describing them as “internal administrative” issues.

On the topic of the disputed, oil-rich Abyei region, which is claimed by both Sudan and South Sudan, the spokesperson said a High-Level Committee had met a UN Special Envoy and was “awaiting developments from the Sudanese side.”

When asked about a UK court case related to South Sudan’s oil sector, she said it was a legal matter for the justice ministry.

Regarding new US immigration restrictions, she stated that South Sudan “respects the sovereign decisions” of the US but is focused on safeguarding the rights of its citizens abroad.

Concluding the briefing, Apuk reaffirmed the government’s commitment to “constructive diplomacy” and the implementation of the UN downsizing plan.

“The Government of the Republic of South Sudan remains committed to co-operating with UNMISS and strengthening partnerships with regional and international actors,” she said.
