𝐉𝐮𝐛𝐚, 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟔, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 - The President of the Republic of South Sudan, H.E. Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit, on Thursday met with the Chairperson of the National Elections Commission, Professor Abednego Akok Kacoul to review ongoing preparations for the country’s general elections scheduled for December 2026.

During the meeting, Professor Akok provided an update on the Commission’s preparations, noting that plans are underway to announce the official election date in June. He also outlined upcoming activities including the rollout of nationwide civic education and voter registration, which will be launched simultaneously given that the elections are now only eight months away.

The Chairperson explained that the elections will be conducted across 102 geographical constituencies across the 10 States and 3 Administrative Areas. The discussion also addressed several operational considerations related to constituency demarcation and the practical steps required to ensure the electoral process proceeds smoothly.

President Kiir emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum in the preparations and indicated that the government will avail the necessary resource and logistical support required for the successful conduct of the elections in December 2026.

Professor Akok expressed appreciation for the President’s engagement and guidance, describing it as an important source of encouragement for the Commission as it continues its work toward delivering credible and orderly elections for the people of South Sudan.

Senegal’s parliament passed a new law increasing the maximum penalty for same-sex relations from five to 10 years in prison. The bill, approved 135–0 with three abstentions, also criminalizes promoting or financing same-sex relationships, with penalties of three to seven years in prison. Arrests under existing anti-LGBTQ laws have increased since February, with dozens of men detained, often based on accusations and phone searches. The legislation also increases fines to $3,500–$17,600 and allows the maximum sentence when a minor is involved. Lawmakers supporting the bill said it would further restrict LGBTQ rights in the country, while the law also penalizes false accusations of same-sex offenses without proof. The bill now awaits President Bassirou Faye's signature to become law.

Khaman Maluach is quickly emerging as one of the most promising young players for the Phoenix Suns. With the way he has performed this season, it hardly feels like he is a rookie.

While his statistics may not always jump off the page, his consistency and disciplined play have made him an important piece of the Suns’ rotation.

Maluach credits the Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball program, led by head coach Jon Scheyer, for helping him transition smoothly from college basketball to the professional level.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with ClutchPoints, Maluach explained that the habits he built during his time at Duke prepared him for the demands of the NBA.

“It was really the same as the NBA. Not game-wise, but with the preparation, mental preparation. Whether it’s with the food or the habits, it’s really similar to the NBA. That really got me ready for this,” Maluach said.

For Maluach, the formula is simple:
Prepare like a pro.
Think like a pro.
Train like a pro.
And you will succeed as a pro.

Those habits were not first developed in Phoenix. The foundation was laid in Durham during his college career — and now the Suns are reaping the rewards of that preparation.

Philanthropist Akuot Sarah Dut Launches Donation Drive for Vulnerable Families in Abiemnhom

JUBA — South Sudanese humanitarian Akuot Sarah Dut has launched a donation campaign aimed at supporting vulnerable families affected by the recent crisis in Abiemnhom County.

Speaking about the initiative, Dut said her decision to step forward was inspired by her own painful experiences during the Abyei conflict in 2008. She recalled fleeing Abyei barefoot while wearing a simple home dress, after giving her only pair of shoes to her brother as they escaped the violence.

Dut said she and her siblings, along with other family members, were forced to abandon everything they owned and spend days walking through the bush before reaching safety in Aneet.

According to her, the survivors were later hosted and supported by community member Emmanuel Kuol Kuol Nyok Kuol, who opened his home to those fleeing the war and provided them with food and shelter for several days until they were able to settle.

“I cannot thank such kind-hearted people enough,” Dut said. “Today it is the people of Abiemnhom facing hardship. If I can become a source of help to them, I am willing to sacrifice my grief for theirs and stand with them.”

Through her organization, Patriots For Progress Foundation, Dut is calling on the public and humanitarian partners to contribute essential items to support affected families.

The foundation is appealing for donations including clothes, shoes, bedsheets, food items, utensils, and medical supplies. Items can be donated for children, women, young girls, boys, men, and the elderly.

Donations can be delivered to the designated drop-off point at Family Salon along Alfa Bank Road in Juba, while financial and logistical support can be coordinated through the foundation’s contact lines.

Several media platforms and organizations have also been urged to amplify the initiative to reach more supporters.

Dut emphasized that collective efforts from the community could help restore hope and dignity to vulnerable families displaced by the crisis in Abiemnhom.

“Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most,” she said. ❤️

BREAKING NEWS: Intelligence Intercept Reveals SPLM-IO Foreign Alliance Strategy

March 10, 2026

JUBA — New intelligence intercepts have revealed what appears to be a coordinated effort by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement–In Opposition (SPLM-IO) to expand its political and military influence through a network of foreign alliances involving Sudan, the United States, and potentially Iran.

According to the intercepted communications, senior SPLM-IO security official Gen. Yiey Dak Wie acknowledged what he described as operational assistance from Sudanese actors. The communication reportedly praised the Sudanese government for “greater works” carried out in support of the movement’s security operations.

Lobbying Efforts in Washington

At the same time, senior SPLM-IO political leader Oyet Nathaniel Pierino is currently in the United States, where he is reportedly engaged in lobbying efforts aimed at gaining political support and diplomatic engagement from Washington.

Translated Voice: Gen. Yie Dak, Director of Security, SPLA-IO

Thank you, Gen. Ali, for your continued support. Please rest assured that the assistance you have provided will never be forgotten.

On the front lines of our movement, we are currently facing significant challenges. Government forces have captured all our bases in the Lou-Nuer areas, which form the backbone of our bases and operations. Our forces suffered a severe defeat due to a shortage of ammunition. As a result, the SSPDF now controls the Sobat Shore, making it difficult to send any potential reinforcements to your country to receive the support you might extend to us.

Regarding Dr. Riek Machar’s status, I personally do not believe the government will release him anytime soon, as long as IO forces do not pose a serious threat to Juba.

On the Abyei issue, if given the opportunity to visit Khartoum, I would share my perspective. I believe my input could contribute to a final decision on Abyei’s status, one that would serve the interests of the people of Sudan.

Concerning oil, gas, and minerals, our movement intends to align with your nation’s interests. Your companies would be given priority in all contracts.

Finally, on international relations with the United States, I am aware that your nation has greater experience in diplomacy. However, the IO movement is currently engaging with the American government, and we could help further strengthen your ties with them should you wish us to assist in this matter.

UN Peacekeepers to stay in Akobo despite SSPDF’s evacuation order

The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) says its peacekeepers will remain in Akobo to protect civilians despite a military directive ordering them and aid groups to leave ahead of planned operations against opposition forces.

The South Sudan People’s Defense Forces had given civilians, U.N. personnel and humanitarian organizations 72 hours to relocate before an expected offensive.

UNMISS said it is engaging with national and local authorities and warned that military operations in and around Akobo could put thousands of civilians, including displaced people, at serious risk.

Anita Kiki Gbeho, the mission’s officer-in-charge, urged all parties to prioritize civilian protection while stressing that the safety of U.N. personnel and assets must be respected.

Meanwhile, the government defended the order, saying it followed earlier coordination with the United Nations.
