‎ ‎Central Equatoria State (CES) security forces have arrested 623 individuals suspected of affiliation with notorious street gangs in Juba as part of a sweeping anti-crime operation across the capital . ‎ ‎The suspects are allegedly linked to high-profile gangs such as 4SG Slime, West Coast, ODA, Killers Gang, Black Devils, among others. ‎ ‎While detailed profiles of the detainees remain pending, officials emphasize the operation is in direct response to a recent surge in heinous criminal activity including a particularly disturbing gang rape in the Shirikat area of Juba, which sparked national outrage and hastened the crackdown.  ‎ ‎In the wake of the arrests, CES Governor Rabi Emmanuel Mujung has renewed calls for reformatory schools aimed at providing vocational training and rehabilitation for youth implicated in gang activities. ‎ ‎This includes proposals for a holistic strategy pairing enforcement with social and mental health support a key element raised during recent securi...

South Sudan Parliament Summons Kuol Manyang and Nhial Deng Because Of Boarder With Kenya

-

South Sudan Parliament Summoned Kuol Manyang Minister Of Defense, Nhial Deng Minister Of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and Kapoeta State Governor Luis Lobong over Kenya boarder issue. 
This came after some members of parliament claimed that the Kenya government launched 65-kilometer road rehabilitation project last month.
The three government officials were summoned over a project by Kenya to construct a tarmac road pass Nadapal up-to Kor Nakodok.  
The Kenya road project is about 70 kilometers and it goes 12 kilometers deep inside South Sudan territory. 
Apart from the broads Kenyan troops have encroached into South Sudan territory making it hard for the natives to take their cattles for grazing.  
Kapoeta State Member of parliament Hon. Epone Loolimo said that “The local communities of Kapoeta state have been denied access to grazing land and freedom of movement -despite an MoU signed between [our] national government with the government of Kenya in 2009.” 
This is a serious issue let's wait patiently for the outcome. 
More to follow shortly....

‎President Salva Kiir Mayardit has promoted Napoleon Adok Gai to the rank of Major General in South Sudan’s National Security Service (NSS), a move that reflects both his growing influence in national affairs and his dual legacy in the tech and security sectors. ‎ ‎From Child Soldier to National Figure ‎Napoleon Adok Gai's story is one of transformation.
