 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.

 ICE detainee dies in Texas detention facility in what agency calls a presumed suicide

An undocumented immigrant from Nicaragua died while being held at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Texas, according to federal officials. ICE said Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, died on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana, a large tent-based detention complex located at Fort Bliss in El Paso. The agency described the death as a “presumed suicide,” though it said the official cause remains under investigation. Diaz had entered the United States illegally in March 2024 and was ordered removed in absentia by an immigration judge in August 2025.

ICE said Diaz had been in federal custody since Jan. 6, when officers encountered him in Minneapolis during intensified immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota. He was arrested for an immigration violation and processed as a final order of removal on Jan. 12. Two days later, security staff found him unconscious and unresponsive in his housing area. ICE said on-site medical personnel and El Paso emergency responders attempted life-saving measures, but Diaz was pronounced dead. The agency said his death was the second reported this month at Camp East Montana, following the Jan. 3 death of 55-year-old Cuban national Geraldo Lunas Campos, who died after experiencing medical distress. Both cases remain under investigation by authorities.
