The War Can't Stop Because The Rebel Leaders in Their Comfort Zones Don't Feel the Pain

While Rebel Leaders urge their fighters to continue fighting, the sponsors of the rebel leaders exploit calls for peace to manipulate the situation, pressuring the government to accept terms that only empower the rebels—giving them time to regroup, recruit, and resume violence. These entities, far from desiring peace, thrive on chaos and instability. Their goal is to keep South Sudan weak and divided, ensuring prolonged conflict that hinders development and prevents our nation from competing for resources like bread and milk.

If these rebel supporters truly wanted peace and prosperity, they would strengthen the government—not undermine it. A stable government is essential for maintaining lasting peace, the foundation of a thriving society. But that is not their intention. They do not want us to enjoy the same security and prosperity they have; instead, they want us—including even their own rebel allies—to suffer.

These sponsors are not our friends. They are cunning adversaries who benefit from our poverty and strife. Their so-called "support" is a trap, designed to keep us fighting, destroying our country, and perpetuating our misery. We must recognize their true motives: they do not seek to help us but to control us through endless conflict.

Breaking News: South Sudan may soon be added to the list of countries affected by the U.S. travel ban, as the Trump-era policy is being revisited with a proposal to include 36 additional nations.

South Sudan currently sits on the U.S. government's "yellow list" — a designation for countries under review regarding their issuance of travel documents and the sharing of information about citizens traveling to the United States.

Notably, a large number of the countries being considered for addition are from Africa. While concerning, this development is not entirely surprising, as many African nations continue to face unequal treatment in global policies, particularly from Western powers like the United States.

Update on Violent Attack Against South Sudanese Refugee Family in Ain Shams, Cairo, Egypt

A horrifying incident of violence was reported involving a South Sudanese refugee family in the Ain Shams district of Cairo, Egypt. The victims—a mother and her three sons—have been severely affected by an attack allegedly carried out by their landlord and a group of armed local youths.

According to the mother, who is the primary victim and witness, she had been renting the same apartment from the landlord, Mohamed (an Egyptian national), for over three years without any previous disputes. She stated that she had paid the rent on the 4th of the month as usual. However, Mohamed suddenly demanded that they vacate the apartment immediately, threatening, "If you don’t leave tonight, I will slaughter all of you."

The mother recounted that she was shocked and terrified by the threat. Despite pleading with the landlord and explaining that they had nowhere else to go, her appeals were met with aggression and threats. The situation escalated when the landlord physically denied them entry into the apartment and began attacking her.

In a recent interview, the mother explained that her three sons tried to intervene to protect her from the assault. In response, the landlord allegedly called a group of young men from the neighborhood, who arrived armed with knives and machetes. The refugee family, unarmed and defenseless, was brutally attacked.

The consequences were devastating. One of the sons tragically lost his life due to the stabbing. The mother suffered a deep wound to her right hand, and the two surviving sons sustained life-threatening injuries. Despite their critical condition, the two young men are currently being held in police custody instead of receiving necessary medical treatment in a hospital.

So far, there has been no official response or support from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) or the South Sudanese government regarding the incident. The family remains in an extremely vulnerable situation, raising urgent concerns about the treatment of refugees and the lack of protection mechanisms.

Key Questions Remain:

Why are the two critically injured young men being held in detention instead of being hospitalized?

Why has there been no immediate intervention from either the Egyptian authorities, the UNHCR, or the South Sudanese diplomatic mission?

What actions will be taken to ensure justice for the murdered son and protection for the surviving family members?

This incident underscores the precarious conditions many refugees face in host countries and the urgent need for legal protection, humanitarian support, and accountability for acts of violence.

Horrific Video Shows Somali Immigrant Tortured by Libyan Militants Amid Widespread Abuse of Migrants

A disturbing video circulating on social media shows a young Somali woman being brutally tortured by armed militants in Libya. The men, believed to be part of a Libyan militia, force her to beg for money in exchange for her freedom. This horrific incident is just one example of the extreme dangers faced by migrants and refugees in Libya, where human trafficking, torture, and extortion have become rampant since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s government.

The Perilous Journey Through Libya
Thousands of African and Middle Eastern migrants pass through Libya each year, hoping to reach Europe or America in search of safety and better opportunities. However, many fall victim to:

Kidnapping & Extortion – Militant groups and human traffickers frequently abduct migrants, demanding exorbitant ransoms from their families. Those who cannot pay are often subjected to torture, sexual violence, or forced labor.

Detention Centers & Abuse – Even in government-run detention centers, migrants face horrific conditions, including overcrowding, starvation, and systematic abuse. Reports of beatings, r**e, and even executions are common.

Slave Trade & Exploitation – Some migrants are sold into modern-day slavery, forced to work without pay or traded among armed groups.

Dangerous Mediterranean Crossing – Those who attempt the sea journey to Europe risk drowning, interception by coast guards, or being returned to Libya, where they face further abuse.

International Indifference & Failed Systems Despite repeated reports from human right organizations, the global response has been inadequate. Many European nations have partnered with Libyan militias to prevent migrant boats from reaching their shores, effectively trapping vulnerable people in a cycle of violence. The United Nations and other agencies have condemned these abuses, but little has been done to hold perpetrators accountable or provide safe pathways for migrants.

The Somali woman in the video represents countless others who endure unimaginable suffering in Libya. Her ordeal highlights the urgent need for international intervention, stronger protections for migrants, and an end to the exploitation that has turned Libya into a living nightmare for those seeking refuge.

Will the world continue to turn a blind eye?

Breaking News: Khaby Lame Detained and Deported by U.S. Immigration in Shocking Turn of Events

In a surprising and dramatic twist, Khaby Lame—the world’s most-followed TikTok star—was detained by ICE and forced to leave the U.S. after overstaying his visa.

The incident occurred following his appearance at the Met Gala, with authorities stopping him at Las Vegas Airport before his departure. Despite his massive global fame (and 160M+ followers), U.S. immigration laws don’t play favorites—proving that even internet royalty isn’t above the rules.

Crazy to think a guy known for silent comedy skits got hit with real-life border drama. Guess visa limits are one thing even Khaby can’t escape ICE.

California and other major U.S. cities are at the forefront of widespread protests against Donald Trump. Initially a peaceful demonstration opposing Trump's controversial deportation policies, the movement has now drawn millions of Americans and immigrants. However, tensions escalated into violence after Trump deployed troops, who were accused of obstructing ICE officers from detaining individuals suspected of being undocumented immigrants.

Reckless Behavior And Unfiltered Public Speeches of Former Warrap State Governor Gen. Aleu Ayieny Threatens South Sudan's Political Stability

General Aleu Ayieny, the former Governor of Warrap State, continues to demonstrate behavior that undermines political stability in South Sudan. Known for his erratic and reckless public remarks, Gen. Aleu has gained a reputation as a "loose cannon" with little regard for the consequences of his words.

During his tenure as governor, Aleu frequently made disrespectful and immature comments, often targeting chiefs and government officials. His conduct not only strained relationships but also hindered efforts to foster peace and stability in Warrap State. His failure to govern effectively eventually led to his dismissal, following mounting public pressure and intervention by President Salva Kiir.

Aleu's disregard for due process was evident when he reportedly ordered extrajudicial actions, including targeting individuals accused of crimes without any legal proceedings. His leadership created chaos, further justifying his removal from office.

Previously, when Gen. Aleu was appointed to the investigative team looking into the mysterious death of Dr. John Garang, he made a series of provocative statements. He insinuated knowledge about the circumstances surrounding the helicopter crash that killed Garang and suggested he would expose those responsible. However, he ultimately failed to name anyone and backed away from his claims.

Recently, Gen. Aleu has resumed his controversial public outbursts—this time targeting Dr. Bol Mel, South Sudan’s Vice President for the Economic Cluster. In a shocking statement, Aleu declared that Dr. Bol Mel had no future as a presidential successor, accusing him of wrongly believing President Kiir would hand over power or that he would rise to leadership in the event of Kiir’s death.

Such inflammatory remarks from a senior figure like Gen. Aleu are dangerous and irresponsible. They threaten to destabilize the political landscape and create divisions within the ruling party. Aleu must be cautioned: his reckless language can lead to political unrest and potentially trigger broader national instability.

For the sake of unity and peace, it is imperative that leaders—especially those with a public platform—exercise restraint and show respect for the institutions and individuals working to move the country forward.

Heavy Clashes Erupt in Yirol East, Lakes State

Violent clashes have broken out in Yirol East County, Lakes State, involving local youth and armed groups from neighboring Unity State. The conflict, reportedly sparked by ongoing tensions over cattle and disputed land, has escalated significantly since the beginning of the week.

Gunfire has been heard across the area, forcing many families to flee their homes. "We are living in fear. The sound of guns is constant," one resident told reporters.

In response, Lakes State authorities have deployed security forces to the conflict zone and are calling on all parties to lay down their arms and pursue peaceful dialogue.

Although casualty numbers remain unconfirmed, humanitarian organizations warn of growing displacement and shrinking access to essential aid.

There are increasing calls for urgent peace talks and stronger security interventions to prevent the violence from spreading further.
