 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.

 ‎Traditional Teachings Are Rooted In Truth, Not  Pretence, manipulation  or Self-Deception like the teachings of the church — Ugezu J. Ugezu

‎Anambra-Born, Veteran Nollywood filmmaker and writer and Ugezu J. Ugezu has shared a reflective message on social media addressing honesty, traditional values, and what he described as the growing culture of pretence and forced positivity.

‎The message was shared on his official Instagram page, @ugezujugezu, where he spoke about the values he was raised with and the importance of speaking plainly about one’s true condition.

‎In the post, Ugezu explained that in the tradition he grew up in, people were encouraged to state things exactly as they were. According to him, openly admitting when one was broke, sick, or dissatisfied helped promote peace, clear boundaries, and genuine communal support, as others could easily recognise when help was truly needed.

‎He contrasted this with what he described as a newer mindset that encourages people to deny their realities by claiming to be rich when broke, fine when sick, and strong when weak. He added that this approach also discourages honest expression of personal feelings toward others.

‎Ugezu stated that after careful reflection, he remains convinced that traditional teachings are superior because they are rooted in truth, clarity, and communal responsibility, rather than pretence, manipulation, or self-deception disguised as faith or positivity.

‎He concluded by stressing that while truth may be uncomfortable, it ultimately brings healing.
