 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...

WHITE HOUSE REMOVES ICE VIDEO AFTER SABRINA CARPENTER CRITICISM, POSTS NEW CLIP MOCKING SINGER . (PHOTO).

 White House removes ICE video after Sabrina Carpenter criticism, posts new clip mocking singer 

 The White House removed a controversial social media video promoting Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests that used pop star Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Juno,” but the dispute intensified when a new clip featuring altered footage from her “Saturday Night Live” appearance was posted shortly afterward.

The original video, shared Monday on the White House’s X account, showed ICE agents detaining migrants while repeatedly playing the lyric “Have you ever tried this one?” from Carpenter’s song. The 21-second clip included a caption that read, “Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye,” accompanied by waving and heart emojis. Carpenter, 26, condemned the post on X, calling it “evil and disgusting” and demanding that her music not be used to support what she described as an “inhumane agenda.”

A White House spokesperson initially defended the video, referencing Carpenter’s album “Short n’ Sweet” and lyrics from her song “Manchild,” stating that the administration would not apologize for deporting individuals they deemed dangerous criminals. The original video was quietly removed from X on Friday without explanation, though a version remained on TikTok with the audio removed.

Hours after deleting the first post, the White House released a new video using edited footage from Carpenter’s October promotional clip for her SNL appearance. In the original promo, Carpenter joked with cast member Marcello Hernández about arresting someone for being “too hot.” The White House version overdubbed the line to replace “hot” with “illegal” and paired it with a montage of ICE arrests, captioned: “PSA: If you’re a criminal illegal, you WILL be arrested & deported.”

The controversy is part of a broader pattern of artists objecting to the Trump administration’s use of their music in promotional videos. Other musicians, including Olivia Rodrigo, Kenny Loggins, Jess Glynne, and MGMT, have all publicly criticized unauthorized use of their songs in recent months.
