 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.

 Danko-Wasagu LG Chairman Denies U.S. Lawmaker’s Claims On Maga School Girls, Says All Are Muslims; Releases Names


The Chairman of Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi state, Hussaini Aliyu, has dismissed a claim credited to U.S. lawmaker Riley Moore alleging that the abduction of the Maga school girls took place in a Christian enclave.


Aliyu clarified that all the abducted school girls are Muslims, describing the comment as misleading and capable of sowing unnecessary religious tension at a time when government efforts are focused on securing the girls’ release.


He stressed that the Zuru Emirate, under which Maga community falls, has a long history of peaceful coexistence and has never experienced religious crises. He therefore urged the U.S. lawmaker to refrain from making unverified statements that portray Nigeria negatively or undermine national unity.
