 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.

 Taylor Swift joins Songwriters Hall of Fame as one of its youngest inductees

Taylor Swift has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, making her one of the youngest members ever at 36. The announcement came on Wednesday, placing the global pop star alongside other 2026 honorees, including Walter Afanasieff, Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of Kiss, Kenny Loggins, Alanis Morissette, and Christopher “Tricky” Stewart.

Eligibility for the hall requires that a songwriter’s first commercially released work be at least 20 years old. Swift’s debut single, “Tim McGraw,” first hit the airwaves in June 2006, qualifying her for consideration. She is now the second youngest living inductee, behind Stevie Wonder, who was 32 when he joined in 1983. For her submission, Swift highlighted hits such as “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” “Blank Space,” “Anti-Hero,” “Love Story,” and “The Last Great American Dynasty.” The induction ceremony is scheduled for June 11 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. Swift’s summer could be especially eventful, as she is expected to marry Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, though no official date has been announced. Meanwhile, her post-“Eras Tour” album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” has continued to dominate charts, with “The Fate of Ophelia” spending 10 weeks atop the Hot 100 and “Opalite” reaching No. 2.
