According to CEPO, the trial has deepened political divisions, eroded trust in the peace process, and increased the risk of renewed fighting between rival forces.

‎

‎“South Sudan’s leaders continue to rely on military solutions to political problems,” said Edmund Yakani, CEPO’s Executive Director. “This approach is short-sighted and dangerous. It could push the country back into war.”

He noted that while military spending is rising, education, health, and agriculture remain severely underfunded.


‎“These imbalances are hurting communities and creating resentment,” he said. “People are losing confidence in peaceful change.”

‎

‎Deepening Humanitarian Crisis

‎South Sudan continues to grapple with floods, hunger, and insecurity that have displaced thousands.

‎

‎The group called on both the government and opposition to reopen political dialogue and restore public trust ahead of next year’s elections.

‎

‎Call for Regional and Global Support

‎CEPO urged IGAD, the African Union, and the United Nations to intensify diplomatic pressure on South Sudanese leaders.

‎Analysts say CEPO’s warning reflects growing fears that the fragile peace agreement could unravel.

‎ The Office of the President has dismissed public speculation surrounding Vice President Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior’s recent assignment to oversee the Governance Cluster, clarifying that the move does not signal any change in the country’s executive hierarchy. ‎ ‎While addressing the media, Presidential Press Secretary Ambassador David Amuor said Nyandeng’s role is temporary and administrative, aimed at ensuring continuity of government operations following the suspension of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, who traditionally chairs the Governance Cluster. ‎ Amb.

South Sudanese man who turned into a woman has finally spoken about his need for man to settle with. The South-South Sudanese man who goes by the name Paul Gatnoor, has found men hard to come by in the western world. Paul Gatnoor who hails from the Nuer tribe in South Sudan has decided to turn into a female since she can’t withstand the pressure of being a man. He was born a man but deep inside him, he was having the genes of a woman. Transgender is the challenge that the gender in which one is given has birth is not the exact gender that one has. This means that people who are born male can identify themselves as female since they don’t have the genes of being a male, this is what Paul Gatnoor is undergoing. They are sometimes also in other words identified as the gender queer. This only means they can not be categorized as female or male. Sometimes one might be comfortable addressing himself as a female rather than identifying yourself as a male. Gatnoor Paul w...
