"Leek Community in Republic of South Sudan meets with Vice President of Greater Pioneer Operating Company, GPOC. On 16th October 2025, the leadership of the Leek Community met with GPOC Vice President Eng Saber Ojak Chol, and the two leaderships discussed their bilateral relations and promised to work together. The leadership of Leek Community highlighted and presented key critical issues that need urgent intervention from GPOC's top management, such as environmental and health issues, oil pollution in northern Rubkona, and others. They also discussed employment opportunities and scholarships. The leadership raised concerns regarding the poor distribution of scholarship opportunities to the host community, urging GPOC to address the matter."

Some minor corrections made:
- "meets with Vice president for" -> "met with Vice President of"
- "the two leadership discussed" -> "the two leaderships discussed" (subject-verb agreement)
- "need a urgent intervention" -> "need urgent intervention" (removed "a")
- "amongst others" -> "and others" (more formal and concise)
- "the oil pollution in northern Rubkona" sounds plausible given the context, but without further information, it's hard to judge its accuracy.
- "Leek Community... urged GPOC" is rephrased to "urging GPOC" for better flow.

Raila Odinga’s Death and Its Impact on Kenya’s 2027 Regional Voting Dynamics.

The death of Raila Amolo Odinga opassed away on October 14, 2025, in Kochi, India, following a cardiac arrest, marks the end of an era in Kenyan politics. Beyond his personal legacy, Odinga’s passing reshapes the political calculus for the 2027 general elections, particularly in Kenya’s key regional strongholds: Nyanza, Rift Valley, Mt. Kenya, and the coastal region.

1. Nyanza: The Loss of a Political Anchor.

Nyanza has been the heartland of Raila Odinga’s political influence, with deep-rooted loyalty to him and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). His death leaves a leadership vacuum that may destabilize traditional voting patterns in the region.

Local leaders and emerging figures within ODM, such as Babu Owino or other party stalwarts, will now face the challenge of maintaining unity and retaining voter loyalty. Without a strong, charismatic leader, the opposition risks losing influence in a region that has historically delivered decisive votes.

2. Mt. Kenya: A Swing Region with High Stakes.

Mt. Kenya, traditionally not an Odinga stronghold, has been critical in shaping presidential outcomes. While historically supportive of candidates opposing Raila, discontent with President William Ruto’s government — due to high living costs, youth unemployment, and unmet development promises — has created an opportunity for opposition influence.

New opposition coalitions, if they present a compelling alternative, could make inroads in this region. A strategic focus on addressing economic concerns and local grievances could turn Mt. Kenya into a key swing bloc for the 2027 elections.

3. Rift Valley: The Ruling Party’s Stronghold.

Rift Valley has largely been President Ruto’s political base, anchored in Kalenjin communities. While the opposition may attempt to make gains, Rift Valley’s voting patterns are deeply influenced by ethnic and local alliances. Maintaining unity among Ruto’s support

Update: Proceedings of the Ninth (9) Session of the Sham Trial of H.E. Dr. Riek Machar and Seven Other Detainees from the SPLM/A-IO

13 October 2025
Today, the so-called Special Court on the Nasir Incident held its ninth session at Freedom Hall in Juba. During today's session, the defense team presented a motion challenging the temporal jurisdiction and legality of the so-called "Special Court."

This objection is based on the fact that the ministerial order for establishing the court was issued on September 1st, stipulating that its mandate would commence from September 8th to October 8th, a period of only one month.

The defense contended that, upon the expiration of its designated period, the court became both jurisdictionally incompetent and unlawful. Consequently, the defense demanded the immediate release of all SPLM/A (IO) detainees, prominently including the First Vice President of the Republic, Dr. Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon. The so-called Special Court offered no comment on this request.

Today's session was adjourned until next Wednesday, October 15th, to allow the court to obtain an extension of its mandate and jurisdiction from the Sudan People's Liberation Movement in Government (SPLM-IG), enabling the continuation of the trial.

The SPLM/A-IO reiterates its rejection of the so-called Special Court, which it views as a mechanism created to abrogate the Revitalized Agreement and to conduct a political witch-hunt against Dr. Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon and the SPLM/A-IO. Consequently, we add our voice to the defense's call for the immediate and unconditional release of H.E. Dr. Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon and all SPLM/A-IO detainees, based on the jurisdictional incompetence and unlawfulness of the sham court.

Update - Proceedings of the Seventh (7) Session of the Sham Trial of H.E. Dr. Riek Machar and Seven Other Detainees from the SPLM/A‑IO

6 October 2025

Today, the so‑called Special Court on the Nasir Incident, established by the SPLM (IG) to prosecute the First Vice President, H.E. Dr. Riek Machar Teny‑Dhurgon, and seven other SPLM/A‑IO detainees, held its seventh (7) session at Freedom Hall in Juba.

During the session, the prosecution submitted five (5) additional exhibits as evidence against the eight (8) SPLM/A‑IO detainees. After hearing objections from the defence, the sham court admitted only four (4) of the exhibits. The submitted documents were:

1. Fifth Exhibit - Autopsy report on the death of General David Majur Dak. Admitted without objection because it confirms the injuries sustained, although it does not identify the perpetrator.
2. Sixth Exhibit - Death certificate of General David Majur Dak. The defence did not object.
3. Seventh Exhibit - Death certificates for 256 South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) soldiers whose deaths the prosecution alleges resulted from the Nasir incident. The defence objected on the grounds that the document lacks essential details (names, military unit numbers, deployment orders, and any evidence placing the deceased in Nasir at the time of the incident). Despite the objection, the court admitted the exhibit.
4. Eighth Exhibit - A collection of documents, including:
- Authorization letter issued by the SSPDF to Legal Advisor Major Peter Malual Deng to represent the force in the trial.
- SSPDF investigation‑committee report on the Nasir incident.
- List of SSPDF soldiers allegedly killed in the Nasir incident.
- List of SSPDF personnel alleged to have survived the incident.
- Statement from the SSPDF concerning the withdrawal of its forces from Wech‑Yar‑Adiu, Nasir County.
- List of SSPDF witnesses to the trial.
- Presidential decree on the integration of Agwelek Militia of General Johnson
