Last update: 12 hours ago

NSIF Rollout Backlash: South Sudanese workers’ unions and employers want the government to suspend the National Social Insurance Fund (NSIF) Act 2023, saying compulsory contributions are moving ahead without proper governance, transparency, systems, and stakeholder buy-in. Aviation Upgrade: President Salva Kiir will commission the new Terminal 3 at Juba International Airport on Thursday, with officials saying it’s ready for operations and designed for international arrivals and departures to boost trade and connectivity. Fuel Pressure in the States: Western Equatoria residents and boda-boda operators report sharp fuel price jumps, raising transport costs and squeezing household budgets. Currency and Cost of Living: Juba and other callers say the South Sudan pound is weakening on the parallel market and diesel prices have surged, pushing some commuters to walk. Border and Mobility Talks: South Sudan and Kenya reaffirmed plans to strengthen border security and improve immigration management to ease movement of people and goods. Deportation Risk for South Sudanese in Sudan: A Sudan court ordered the expulsion of 23 South Sudanese nationals, heightening fears of wider crackdowns on residents. Humanitarian Heat in Eastern Africa: UN agencies warn 48.5 million people need help in Eastern Africa, with food insecurity rising and Ebola risk from the DRC adding pressure—South Sudan is among the hardest hit. Ebola Update (Regional): Congo’s Ebola response is struggling as confirmed cases near 2,000 and deaths mount, with warnings that the outbreak is outpacing containment. Oil Finance Relief: South Sudan regained limited access to crude-backed advance financing after settling a dispute with BB Energy, which says it has been awarded three more cargoes for delivery later in 2026. Labor Cooperation Abroad: Kuwait and South Sudan discussed manpower and expertise exchange through a draft labor cooperation memorandum. Mining Demands in Aweil North: A community in Aweil North says road, school, and police infrastructure must be built before Lol Malual Mining Company starts gold mining. Election Media Training: Journalists in Bor, Jonglei, received training on ethical, conflict-sensitive and gender-responsive election reporting ahead of South Sudan’s first general elections since 2011.
