 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...

 Eugene Hasenfus, central figure in 1980s Iran-Contra affair, dies at 84

Eugene Hasenfus, whose capture in 1986 helped expose the Iran-Contra affair, has died at the age of 84. Hasenfus passed away on Nov. 26 in Menominee, Michigan, after a nine-year battle with cancer.

Born on Jan. 22, 1941, in Marinette, Wisconsin, Hasenfus served in the Marines during the Vietnam War and later pursued a career in aviation. His life took a dramatic turn in October 1986 when the CIA-backed supply plane he was on was shot down over Nicaragua while delivering arms to the anti-communist Contras. Three crew members died, but Hasenfus survived by parachuting into the jungle, where he evaded capture for more than 24 hours before being apprehended by Nicaraguan authorities.

His capture exposed the secret U.S. operations supporting the Contras after Congress had cut off military aid in 1984. Hasenfus publicly confirmed CIA involvement, contradicting initial statements from Reagan administration officials denying any U.S. connection. The incident prompted congressional investigations into the Iran-Contra scandal.

Hasenfus was convicted in Nicaragua for his role in the arms deliveries and sentenced to 30 years in prison, but he was pardoned by President Daniel Ortega a month later and returned home to northern Wisconsin. In 1988, he filed a lawsuit seeking $135 million over his involvement in the Iran-Contra network, which was ultimately unsuccessful.

Later in life, Hasenfus faced legal issues in Wisconsin, including a 2003 guilty plea for lewd conduct and a subsequent jail sentence after probation revocation in 2005. He is survived by four children and eight grandchildren.
