 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.

 Burkina Faso sack coach after Cup of Nations disappointment


Burkina Faso have sacked coach Brama Traore after their last 16 exit at the Africa Cup of Nations, making him the second coaching casualty of tournament in Morocco.


Traore, 63, took his side to second place in their group but they were easily trounced 3-0 by Ivory Coast in the first knockout round one week ago.


"Following a thorough analysis of Burkina Faso's participation in the Africa Cup of Nations, it has been decided to terminate collaboration with the national coach Brama Traore, as well as his entire technical staff," said a Burkinabe Football Federation statement on Wednesday, Reuters reported.


"This decision follows results deemed to fall far short of the objectives set for the national team in this major continental competition. This poor performance has caused deep disappointment among supporters, stakeholders in national football, and governing bodies.


"As a reminder, the clearly established objective before the start of the 2025 AFCON was to reach at least the semi-finals, in line with the positive momentum and respectable performances achieved by the national team in previous editions," it continued.


Traore had been in charge for 22 months and his dismissal follows that of Tunisia coach Sami Trabelsi, also fired after his side was eliminated from the round of 16 in Morocco.
