: Machar’s co-accused names senior officials he says fueled Nasir tensions.

Gatwech Lam Puoch, a lawmaker and one of the defendants in the trial involving suspended First Vice President Riek Machar, on Friday accused several senior government officials of exacerbating tensions surrounding the March violence in Nasir County through inflammatory public statements made before any formal investigation was completed.

Lam, who represents Nasir County in Upper Nile State in the National Legislative Assembly on an SPLM-IO ticket, made the remarks while presenting his defence during the 87th session of the trial at Freedom Hall in Juba.

says officials joined his private trip expecting cash handouts.

South Sudan President Salva Kiir said on Tuesday that government officials who accompanied him on what he described as a private visit to the Bahr el Ghazal region had expected him to distribute money, but insisted he had no cash to hand out.

A large delegation of politicians, ruling party officials and security personnel accompanied Kiir on his tour of the Bahr el Ghazal region, a trip he described as private. The visit has prompted speculation over its cost.

Addressing a public rally in Aweil, and speaking in the Dinka language, Kiir said officials from both the national and state governments had joined the trip believing he would make financial donations.

“As you can see, all government officials have come here thinking that I am here to distribute money to the people, but I don’t have it,” he said.

: Man abducted in Nairobi arrives in Juba, held in military detention. A South Sudanese man who was abducted in Kenya earlier this week has been deported to South Sudan and is being held at a military detention facility in Juba, community representatives said on Thursday.

Athorbey Al-Gaddhaffy-Dit Guet, widely known as Gaddafi, was reported missing in Nairobi on Monday after armed men seized him at gunpoint, according to family members and rights advocates. His disappearance raised fears that he had been forcibly returned to South Sudan.

Gaddafi, who is originally from the Bor community in Jonglei State and also holds Kenyan identification documents, had previously expressed concerns about his safety, according to people familiar with the matter.

His case has drawn concern from relatives and human rights organisations, which have called on Kenyan authorities to disclose his whereabouts, grant him access to family members and legal counsel, and investigate the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

: South Sudanese scholar and Syracuse University professor Jok Madut Jok has questioned President Salva Kiir’s health and governance practices, warning that key decisions may increasingly be made by officials around him rather than through formal state institutions.

In an exclusive interview with Radio Tamazuj on Thursday, Prof. Jok also raised concerns over the growing role of presidential family members, particularly Adut Salva Kiir, alleging a lack of transparency in her official position and links to a company involved in collecting government taxes and levies.

He said the First Family’s reported travel to was described as a private visit for a family homecoming and blessing ceremony amid concerns over the President’s health, but added it was also seen as a possible opportunity for political discussions, including succession and broader governance issues.

Jok said recent detentions of senior officials were more likely driven by internal power struggles than formal corruption cases, citing a lack of court proceedings and due process.

He said planned African Union-led talks were unlikely to succeed without government commitment, and cautioned that upcoming elections could lack credibility if basic legal and logistical conditions are not met.

: South Sudan rejected U.S. criticism of its political leadership on Monday and renewed calls for the lifting of U.N. sanctions and an arms embargo, saying the measures undermine efforts to implement the 2018 peace deal and strengthen state institutions.

In a statement, the foreign ministry said remarks by U.S. Alternate Representative for Special Political Affairs Jennifer Locetta following the renewal of U.N. sanctions did not accurately reflect the situation in the country.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ambassador Agok Anyar said South Sudan valued its longstanding relationship with the United States, which supported the country’s independence and post-independence development, but disagreed with what it described as U.S. characterisations of President Salva Kiir’s leadership.
