 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. He urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint, de-escalate tensions immediately, and comply fully with the permanent ceasefire and power-sharing arrangements under the agreement, T...

 Pope Leo XIV to visit Turkey and Lebanon on first foreign trip under global media spotlight

VATICAN CITY - Pope Leo XIV is preparing to embark on his first international journey, a highly symbolic and sensitive pilgrimage to Turkey and Lebanon that comes amid deep regional instability and extraordinary global attention. The trip, originally envisioned by his predecessor, will take place under intense diplomatic scrutiny as conflicts continue to unfold across the Middle East. In Turkey, the pope will commemorate a landmark anniversary in Christian history tied to the early foundations of the faith and relations between Eastern and Western churches. In Lebanon, he aims to offer moral support to a Christian community that has endured years of political turmoil, economic collapse, and the lingering trauma of the devastating 2020 Beirut port explosion. Known for his missionary background and years of leadership within his religious order, Leo has already demonstrated a steady diplomatic style and comfort engaging directly with the press. This journey is expected to further shape how the world comes to understand his papacy, particularly as he balances calls for peace in Gaza, efforts to sustain negotiations over the war in Ukraine, and advocacy for migrants and displaced people. His decision to speak primarily in English and French rather than Italian underscores his intention to communicate directly with broader international audiences during this pivotal moment in global affairs.

Security surrounding the visit is expected to be tight, especially following recent airstrikes in the region, though organizers insist the pope’s itinerary avoids the most dangerous areas. The emotional centerpiece of the trip will come on his final day in Lebanon, when he pauses in silent prayer at the Beirut port blast site, where hundreds were killed, and entire neighborhoods were destroyed. The explosion, widely viewed as the result of official negligence, remains unresolved years later, with no senior figure held accountable, fueling public anger and despair. Many Lebanese hope the pope will use his presence to demand truth, justice, and renewed accountability from a deeply distrusted political class. He is also scheduled to meet with young people who face an uncertain future marked by unemployment, mass emigration, and fading confidence in national leadership. For many, his visit represents more than symbolic solidarity—it is a rare moment of global attention focused on their suffering, resilience, and longing for stability. As Pope Leo XIV steps onto the world stage beyond Rome for the first time, his words, movements, and silences will be closely watched for what they signal about the direction of his papacy and the moral weight he intends to carry into a fractured world.
