 AU urges de-escalation as fighting displaces over 180,000 in South Sudan’s Jonglei state The Chairperson of the African Union Commission called for immediate de-escalation and strict adherence to South Sudan’s 2018 peace agreement, as renewed fighting in Jonglei State displaced more than 180,000 people and raised fears of further civilian harm. In a statement, African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf said he was deeply concerned by the deteriorating security situation in parts of the country, particularly Jonglei, where escalating violence and inflammatory rhetoric have put civilians—including women and children—at heightened risk. South Sudanese authorities estimate the number of displaced in Jonglei at more than 180,000, the United Nations humanitarian agency OCHA said last week.

Former WWE boss Vince McMahon will join pretrial program after reckless driving charge

Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon has been approved to enter a pretrial program to resolve a reckless driving charge from a crash in Connecticut this summer.

A state Superior Court judge ruled Thursday that McMahon can join the program if he makes a $1,000 charitable donation and drives only while properly licensed and insured. If he meets these conditions, the reckless driving charge and an additional charge for following too closely will be dismissed in one year.

The incident occurred on July 24 on the Merritt Parkway in Westport, where McMahon rear-ended a BMW, damaged a wooden guardrail, and caused debris to fly into the southbound lanes, striking another vehicle. His Bentley was destroyed, and two other cars were damaged. No one was injured, and the other drivers did not object to his entry into the program.

McMahon did not speak at the hearing. His attorney, Mark Sherman, said afterward, “Not every car accident is a crime. That’s what happened here, an accident.”

McMahon stepped down as WWE CEO in 2022 during an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. He also resigned last year as executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings, WWE’s parent company, following a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by a former WWE employee. McMahon has denied the claims, and the lawsuit remains pending.

McMahon purchased the World Wrestling Federation in 1982, building it into a global entertainment powerhouse. He ran the company alongside his wife, Linda, now the U.S. education secretary, and occasionally appeared at WWE events as himself.
