 South Sudan ready to resume oil exports South Sudan could resume oil production "as early as tomorrow" almost a year after fighting in neighbouring Sudan ruptured a key pipeline, the government said on Tuesday, AFP reported. The landlocked country's vital oil had been shipped to global markets from Port Sudan on the Red Sea, with Sudan taking a cut as a transit fee. But the pipeline was damaged in February clashes between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, dramatically denting the young nation's economy. After months of shutdown, South Sudan's government said production would resume from part of a facility operated by Dar Petroleum Operating Company (DPOC). "The Ministry of Petroleum and partners would like to declare that the kick-off date for DPOC resumption is as early as tomorrow," Minister of Petroleum Puot Kang Chol said at a press briefing in capital Juba. He said the ministry was "directing DPOC... to immediately em...

 Army volunteers killed in Burkina Faso 'terror attack'


Five civilian volunteers with the army in Burkina Faso were killed in an attack this week in the west of the country, security officials said on Saturday, AFP reported.


"A forward security forces position, composed mainly of auxiliaries from the Volunteers for the Defence of the Fatherland (VDP), was targeted by armed terrorist groups," said one official.


"Unfortunately five people, all volunteers, were killed," he told AFP of Thursday's incident in the Gnangdin area, near the border with Togo and Ghana.


The volunteers, who work with the army, are recruited locally, given weapons and three months' training.


They may operate with professional soldiers or on their own.


The incident triggered a protest among locals who blocked the main highway linking the region to the Togolese border, a local inhabitant told AFP on condition of anonymity.


The blockade continued for several hours before the authorities broke it up, he said.


"There is a (military) unit in the area but it took them a while to react, which shouldn't have happened. If groups can still carry out attacks despite the presence of this unit, then ther e's still work to do," he said.


Insurgency erupted in neighbouring Mali in 2012 and then spread to Niger and Burkina.


All three west African countries are run by military governments.


Since the unrest spread to Burkina Faso in 2015, it has killed around 26,000 people and forced some two million people to flee their homes, according to monitoring group ACLED.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
