Peace Agreement Tensions: A U.S. envoy warned South Sudan’s leaders of “consequences” if reforms stall and national revenue is misused, stressing that the 2018 peace deal remains the basis of transitional legitimacy while genuine dialogue is impossible with Riek Machar detained. Parliamentary Amendments Fight: South Sudanese lawyer Gabriel Kuot Akok defended the government’s amendments as lawful under the peace deal and transitional constitution, but SPLM-IO and SSOA MPs condemned the process as non-inclusive and linked to the removal of their lawmakers. Security Forces Consolidation: Gen. Santino Deng Wol ordered former opposition-aligned forces that pledged allegiance but are not yet integrated to prepare for reorganization and reporting to training centres. Oil Transparency Pressure: A new report alleges opaque crude oil allocations and sales, with firms benefiting from below-market purchases and last-minute cargo reallocation decisions. Trade & Customs Crackdown: SSRA mandated free e-permits for all imports to curb cargo diversion and document manipulation. Regional Context: UN chief Guterres urged de-escalation in South Sudan alongside Sudan and eastern DRC, warning conflict and climate shocks are worsening Africa’s future.
