AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoElections: South Sudan has pushed its first national vote from Dec. 22 to Feb. 11, 2027. Officials say the extra time will support voter registration and public education, but the UN has warned that elections could deepen conflict as the 2018 power-sharing deal frays and opposition leader Riek Machar remains sidelined. Voter Registration: Registration opened Saturday and runs through Nov. 28 at 3,161 centres. The commission says more than 22,000 staff are involved, but materials have yet to reach some remote areas, raising concerns about whether voters can register in time. Civilian Protection: Amnesty says UN peacekeepers failed to protect civilians before the deadly Abiemnom massacre, renewing calls for South Sudanese authorities and the UN to investigate and strengthen protection. Abyei: The Security Council extended the UN peacekeeping force’s mandate through November 2027 and called for progress on negotiations over the disputed area’s status.
