 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.

 FIFA chief faces ethics allegations over Trump peace prize award

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is under scrutiny after a human rights nonprofit filed a complaint with the organization’s ethics investigators, citing his public support for President Trump and the awarding of a new peace prize to the U.S. leader. The complaint, submitted by London-based nonprofit FairSquare, alleges that Infantino’s actions represent repeated violations of FIFA’s Code of Ethics, which mandates political neutrality from football officials when engaging with governments.

Infantino had previously described Trump as “a close friend” and, during the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, D.C., announced he was giving Trump the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize for his “unwavering commitment to advancing peace and unity.” FairSquare’s co-director, Nick McGeehan, called for FIFA’s Ethics Committee to launch an investigation into Infantino’s conduct. FIFA’s ethics rules state that those who fail to maintain political neutrality could face suspensions from the sport of up to two years, though it remains unclear whether the committee will pursue the complaint.
