 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...

 ‎Attacks in the North Were Blamed on Bandits;But Attack in Anambra Was Pointed to Unknown Gunmen- Shehu Sani 

‎

‎Senator Shehu Sani has criticised what he describes as inconsistent media labeling of violent attacks across Nigeria, faulting the tendency to use selective descriptions depending on the region affected. In a post shared on his official X handle on Monday, December 8th, 2025, the former Kaduna lawmaker drew attention to how similar crimes are reported differently in the North and the South-East.

‎

‎Sani noted that when violent incidents occur in northern states, attackers are immediately identified as “Bandits” or “Terrorists,” a naming pattern he considers straightforward and accurate. However, he argued that when similar acts happen in parts of the South-East, particularly Anambra State, the media commonly resorts to vague descriptions such as “armed assailants,” “hoodlums,” “gunmen,” or “unknown gunmen.”

‎

‎His comments followed a recent deadly incident in Anambra, where an attack on a church reportedly claimed two lives and resulted in buildings being set ablaze. According to Sani, despite the severity of the event, media reports avoided definitive classifications.

‎

‎He described both cases as the same murderous act and criminality, calling attention to what he considers a double standard in media reportage. The senator suggested that such selective language may contribute to confusion, weaken accountability, and hinder efforts to tackle insecurity uniformly across Nigeria.

‎

‎Sani’s remarks reflect persistent national debates over security narratives, regional sentiment, and how language impacts public perception and counterterrorism strategies.
