 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.

FAA says 7 killed and 1 survivor found after jet crashes in snow in Bangor, Maine 


Seven people were killed, and one crew member was seriously injured after a private business jet crashed during a snowstorm while attempting to take off from Bangor International Airport in Maine on Sunday night. The Bombardier Challenger 600, carrying eight people, went down around 7:45 p.m. as heavy snow fell across New England amid a massive winter system affecting much of the country. The aircraft overturned and caught fire after the crash, prompting an immediate emergency response. Air traffic control audio captured frantic moments shortly after takeoff clearance, with a voice reporting that the aircraft was upside down, followed by first responders arriving in under a minute. Airport operations were suspended shortly afterward, and the facility remains closed as crews continue recovery and investigation efforts.

The jet was registered to a corporate entity based in Houston, Texas, sharing an address with the Arnold and Itkin Trial Lawyers firm, with one of the firm’s founding partners listed as the registered agent for the aircraft-owning company. Officials said the crash occurred as snowfall intensified, though aircraft had been landing and departing throughout the day. Bangor ultimately recorded close to 10 inches of snow, with conditions worsening as the evening progressed. The incident unfolded during a historic winter storm that spread sleet, freezing rain, and snow across large portions of the eastern United States, grounding flights, closing roads, and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of customers. Nationwide, air travel was heavily disrupted, with tens of thousands of flights canceled or delayed. The Challenger 600, a wide-bodied business jet introduced in 1980 and known for its spacious cabin, remains a common choice for private and charter flights, adding to the shock surrounding the deadly crash.
