 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.

CHINESE NATIONALS ACCUSED OF SMUGGLING NVIDIA AND HP CHIPS TO CHINA . (PHOTO).


 Chinese nationals accused of smuggling Nvidia and HP chips to China 

Federal prosecutors have charged three Chinese nationals in connection with an alleged smuggling scheme that funneled restricted Nvidia and HP chips into China despite U.S. export controls. According to newly unsealed court documents, the suspects — identified as Hon Ning Ho, Brian Raymond, Cham Li, and Jing Chen — began obtaining the chips in September 2023, working alongside an American accomplice to illegally procure high-performance components barred from export to China. Investigators say the group established a shell company to purchase the hardware, then routed shipments through third-party countries such as Thailand and Malaysia to disguise their final destination. Prosecutors allege the men coordinated extensively to avoid U.S. export laws, even discussing specific methods to outmaneuver federal restrictions implemented by the Commerce Department.

The Justice Department asserts that the scheme ultimately moved hundreds of chips into China, a transfer made possible through covert logistics, falsified records, and layers of intermediary countries. In return for their involvement, the men reportedly received financial kickbacks tied to each shipment, creating a sustained operation that evaded detection for months. The case underscores intensifying U.S. efforts to block China’s access to advanced computing technology amid national security concerns, and highlights the growing sophistication of smuggling networks seeking to circumvent federal export bans.
