The United States on Friday imposed sanctions against three South Sudanese government officials, accusing them of human rights violations in Unity State.

The US Treasury targeted Unity State Governor Joseph Nguen Manytuil, Koch County Commissioner Koang Biel, and Mayendit Commissioner Gatluak Nyang for their alleged involvement in “systematic r**e and other human rights violations” against women and girls in Leer County between February and April 2022.

According to a Treasury statement, government-aligned forces and allied militias under Biel and Hoth’s command were “responsible for systematic r**e, often accompanied by other human rights violations, perpetrated against women and girls during armed attacks in Leer County of Unity State.”

The statement further alleges that “after the attacks, Biel and Hoth did not hold their forces accountable.”

Governor Manytuil is accused of appointing Biel and Hoth as county commissioners despite being aware of the attacks and failing to “prevent, discourage, or institute any form of sanction against Biel and Hoth for their role in the serious crimes committed.”

The sanctions were implemented pursuant to Executive Order 13664, which targets individuals and entities “responsible for or complicit in, or for having engaged in, directly or indirectly, actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, or stability of South Sudan.”

The sanctions will freeze any assets the designated individuals hold in the United States or within the possession or control of US persons. Additionally, US individuals and entities are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.

DEAR PUBLIC,

I am writing to clarify recent developments in the Bahr el Gazal Counties League. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr. Madut Anei Kuenydit has suspended the Deputy President of the league Ustaz Gum Thany Mony, which has caused a great deal of confusion and concern among the members of the league.
The President of the league mr. Athuai Athuai was appointed by the CEO on behalf of the Board of Directors, and the Deputy President was appointed by the President. However, the CEO does not have the authority to suspend the Deputy President directly.
The politics of South Sudan National Youth Union should not affect the progress of the league. The league is meant to be a platform for youth development, peace, Unity and empowerment, and any actions that undermine its purpose should be strongly opposed.
I urge all members of the public to remain calm and support the league in its efforts to promote youth development and unity. I also call upon the CEO and the Board of Directors to resolve this issue in a timely and transparent manner, and to ensure that the league continues to operate smoothly and fairly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Abram Maluer Marial
Member of the Bahr el Gazal Counties League Board of Directors.

Israel's long-awaited deal brokered with Hamas to allow the release of 50 hostages from Gaza likely won't happen until Friday at the earliest.

The agreement, which includes a four-day pause in fighting, was supposed to begin Thursday morning with the release of the first batch of hostages. It was said that hostages would be released during each of the four days.

No reason has been given for the delay, but the families who have been waiting in agony since their loved ones were captured by Hamas on Oct. 7 are still waiting. Officials say talks are continuing.

Once the deal is done, the hostages are expected to be released in small clusters to the International Red Cross, many of them women and children.

In return, Israel will release 150 Palestinian prisoners. Israel will also allow up to 300 trucks of aid and fuel into Gaza each day.

Until then, the strikes on Gaza continue. Israel Defense Forces said its troops have destroyed 400 Hamas tunnels since the start of the war. Palestinian news agency WAFA said more than 100 people were killed overnight, including 50 from one family.
