Top Trending News Today:





President Kiir on Wednesday met with United States Ambassador to South Sudan Micheal J. Adler to discuss diplomatic ties and matters of mutual interest between the two countries.


The Acting Foreign Affairs And International Co-operation , Hon. Deng Dau Malek said the meeting touched on peace agreement and humanitarian assistance. 


Hon. Deng Dau added that the government is addressing issue of subnational violence to attain total peace across the Country.


The American diplomat mentioned they discussed broad range of issues including US support to the people of South Sudan in areas of humanitarian assistance and the peace implementation process.


The United States laments the failure of South Sudanese leaders to implement the commitments they have made to bring peace to South Sudan and has consequently decided to end U.S. assistance for peace process monitoring mechanisms, effective July 15, as we assess next steps.


Due to the lack of sustained progress on the part of South Sudan’s leaders, and following consultation with Congress, the United States is ending support to the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring And Evaluation Commission and the Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring and Verification Mechanism.

‎South Sudan’s Vice President Gen. Taban Deng Gai has assured citizens that the peace agreement signed in 2018 remains strong, despite the recent house arrest of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar.  ‎ ‎Speaking during a visit to Unity State on Saturday, Gai said Machar’s detention is a legal issue not a political move. ‎ ‎“The arrest of Dr. Riek Machar should not be seen as a threat to peace,” Gai told a gathering in Rubkona County. “He will go through legal proceedings, and the law will determine whether he has done anything wrong.” ‎ ‎President Salva Kiir ordered the house arrest of Machar in late March, accusing him of involvement in recent violence in Nasir County, Upper Nile State.  ‎ ‎The move has sparked concerns among Machar’s supporters and raised fears of renewed conflict in his home region. ‎ ‎VP Taban, who leads the Infrastructure Cluster in the unity government, is part of the power-sharing arrangement formed after the five-year civil war.

‎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. Born in Yirol County, he was conscripted as a child soldier during the war years.  ‎ ‎Like many young South Sudanese at the time, Gai’s early life was shaped by conflict. But after relocating to the UK, he pursued higher education and returned with degrees in software engineering, ICT, and project management. ‎ ‎His education would eventually position him to lead digital transformation efforts in South Sudan. ‎ ‎The Man Behind South Sudan’s Digital Awakening ‎Gai is best known to many South Sudanese as the Director General of the National Communication Authority (NCA). Since his appointment in 2020, he has pushed for major reforms ...
