 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.

 ‘No Kings’ protests against Trump planned nationwide as GOP denounces them as ‘hate America’ rallies


Thousands of demonstrators are expected to rally in Washington, D.C., and cities across the country on Saturday for “No Kings” protests denouncing the leadership of President Donald Trump. The nationwide demonstrations, which organizers describe as a defense of democracy and civil liberties, coincide with the 18th day of a government shutdown that has disrupted federal operations and intensified tensions between the White House and Congress. Organizers say the rallies aim to highlight concerns about Trump’s expanding executive power, which they view as an erosion of the nation’s democratic foundations. Trump, meanwhile, is spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, where protests are also expected nearby.

The “No Kings” movement marks the third major wave of demonstrations since Trump’s return to office, with organizers calling this weekend’s event the largest yet—featuring more than 2,600 rallies coordinated nationwide. Top Democratic figures, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Bernie Sanders, are lending their support to the protests, framing them as a “love America” response to what they see as the president’s authoritarian tendencies. Republican leaders, however, have condemned the gatherings, labeling them “hate America” rallies and accusing Democrats of siding with far-left activists at the expense of reopening the government. House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed participants as “Marxists” and “antifa types,” while Democrats countered that the protests represent patriotic resistance against political extremism. With the government still shuttered and partisan divisions deepening, the rallies have become a symbolic battleground over how Americans define democracy, dissent, and the limits of presidential power.
