 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week.

 South Sudan hosts nearly 560,000 refugees, asylum seekers: UNHCR


South Sudan is currently hosting 559,615 refugees and asylum seekers across 142,432 households, settled in 29 locations across the country as of April, the United Nations refugee agency said on Monday, Xinhua reported.


The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said the total number comprises 555,814 registered refugees and 3,801 asylum seekers.


"The vast majority, 527,951 individuals, are Sudanese refugees, followed by populations from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, the Central African Republic, and other nationalities," the UNHCR said in its latest report released in Juba, the capital of South Sudan.


As for the asylum-seeker population, Ethiopians, who account for 34 percent, and Eritreans, who form 35.1 percent, make the biggest groups, followed by Ugandans, Burundians, and Congolese, said the UNHCR.


South Sudan continues to grant temporary refugee status to those fleeing neighboring Sudan due to the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since December 2023.


According to the UN refugee agency, 51 percent of refugees are women, while 78 percent are women and children combined.
