AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Elections & Institutions: South Sudan’s December 2026 vote is framed as a make-or-break moment for moving from “politics of survival” to service, accountability, and peaceful competition, with disability inclusion and full citizen participation highlighted as key tests. Oil & Finance: A partial settlement with BB Energy eases a London court block on new oil-backed loans, but also underlines how much the government still depends on future crude to meet debts. Workers’ Rights: Oil-industry and NGO unions urge the government to pause the National Social Insurance Fund (NSIF) rollout, saying compulsory contributions are being pushed before governance, transparency, and systems are ready. Courtroom Fight: A co-accused in Riek Machar’s trial asks the special court to exclude a digital forensic report, arguing it lacks authenticity and proper chain of custody. Aviation: President Salva Kiir is set to commission Juba International Airport’s Terminal 3, a push to expand international arrivals and departures. Humanitarian Pressure: UN agencies warn Eastern Africa needs massive aid, with South Sudan flagged for rising food insecurity and Ebola risk from the DRC. Fuel Costs: Western Equatoria residents and boda-boda riders report sharp fuel price hikes that are driving up transport costs and squeezing livelihoods. Regional Security: Kajo-Keji officials accuse Uganda’s UPDF of crossing the border and attacking an SSPDF base, displacing civilians.
