U.S. Sanctions Pressure: The United States imposed sanctions on South Sudan’s transitional government-linked figures and announced visa restrictions, accusing officials and firms of obstructing the 2018 peace deal, fueling conflict, and diverting resources—warning that “there will be consequences” if reforms stall. Peace-Deal Fight: In Juba, SPLM-IO MPs boycotted parliament over proposed amendments to the R-ARCSS, while USAP and other voices say changes must be inclusive and backed by public hearings, not unilateral moves. Court Adjournment: Riek Machar’s special court case was adjourned as judges paused to receive and mourn the body of former Chief Justice Ambrose Riiny Thiik. Local Cost of Living: After a two-week truck drivers’ protest ended, Nimule residents urged traders to cut commodity prices as goods start moving again. Regional Trade & Energy: Djibouti began building a Sh20.7b fuel hub, while East African procurement talks in Juba pushed for more transparency in public buying.
