Call for Urgent Financial Audit of South Sudan Chamber of Commerce

By Yel Ateny | Youths Concerned

The South Sudan National Chamber of Commerce has never undergone a financial audit since its establishment — a troubling lapse that raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and the proper management of public and institutional funds.

Tasked with representing the interests of the private sector and upholding fair business practices, the Chamber plays a critical role in shaping the country’s economic landscape. Yet, without any form of financial oversight, concerns of corruption and mismanagement loom large.

The absence of auditing not only erodes public trust but also casts a shadow over South Sudan's investment climate. In an economy striving to attract both domestic and international investors, such institutional opacity can be deeply damaging to national credibility and the broader business environment.

In light of this, we, the Youths Concerned, are calling on the Ministry of Finance and the National Audit Chamber to immediately initiate a comprehensive audit of the South Sudan National Chamber of Commerce — from its inception to the present day.

A full financial audit is essential to:

Uncover any possible misuse or misappropriation of funds;

Reinforce principles of transparency and accountability;

Rebuild confidence among stakeholders and investors;

And set the institution on a path of sound financial management going forward.

Auditing is not a discretionary process. It is a national obligation and a cornerstone of responsible governance. The business community — and the South Sudanese people — deserve nothing less.

Israel in talks with South Sudan over possible resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza — AP reports

Israel is in discussions with the government about the possibility of relocating Palestinians from the Gaza Strip into the country, AP News reports.

According to AP, six people familiar with the matter confirmed the talks, though it is unclear how far they have progressed. If implemented, the plan would see people moved from a territory devastated by war and famine risk to a country still recovering from its own conflict — a proposal that has already raised human rights concerns.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he supports what he calls “voluntary migration” of Gaza’s population, in line with ideas once pushed by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Similar proposals have reportedly been discussed with other African nations.

Palestinians, human rights organisations, and many governments reject the idea, saying it amounts to forced expulsion in violation of international law.

Joe Szlavik, head of a U.S. lobbying firm that works with South Sudan, told AP he had been briefed by South Sudanese officials and that an Israeli delegation is expected to visit Juba to explore possible sites for temporary camps. He said Israel would likely cover the cost of building the camps. No date has been confirmed for the visit.

Egypt, which borders Gaza, is opposed to any plan that moves Palestinians out of the territory. AP reports that Egyptian officials have been lobbying Juba against accepting the relocation.

For South Sudan, AP notes such a deal could help strengthen ties with Israel and potentially improve relations with the United States. Israel has historic links to South Sudan, with AP citing claims that its Mossad spy agency provided support during the liberation struggle.
However, local voices have raised concerns. Civil society activist Edmund Yakani told AP that communities would need to know who is coming and for how long, warning of “historical issue
