 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.

 Clinton and Obama call on Americans to speak out and act after Minneapolis shootings

Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton on Sunday condemned the recent shootings in Minneapolis, urging Americans to speak out and take action in response to the violence. The Obamas described the death of Alex Pretti over the weekend as a “heartbreaking tragedy” and called it a wake-up call for the nation, saying core American values are increasingly under threat. They also criticized what they described as “unprecedented tactics” by federal agents, including masked ICE recruits, accusing them of intimidating, harassing, and endangering local residents.

The Obamas argued that rather than enforcing discipline and accountability, federal officials appear to escalate tensions and provide explanations for the shootings of Pretti and Renee Good that conflict with video evidence. They encouraged Americans to draw inspiration from the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis and across the country, and urged the administration to work with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to restore order and pursue legitimate law enforcement goals. Clinton called the situation in Minneapolis “horrible,” warning that the decisions made now could shape history for years to come. He accused those in power of misleading the public and emphasized that it is up to citizens to stand up, speak out, and defend the principles of American democracy. White House officials criticized the Obamas, claiming they were attacking law enforcement while defending criminal illegal aliens.
