Female artist from South Sudan Cj Maya is now buzzing on social media after exposing her big booty to promote new song.

The artist is seen in a photo which is now making rounds on social media, wearing a red braa matching to her G-string pantie.

Cj, shared the photo on her Facebook page with a caption written “You can look at it and zoom it, but don’t forget to click on this link”.

The viral photo has sparked mixed reactions among netizens in the comment box who are sharing their opinions on what the artist did to promote her music.

Some are praising her fat ass instead of her new song while others are criticizing her for sharing her sexy photo instead of believing her talent.

A 71 year old Sudan head of state Salva Kiir Mayardit allegedly peed on himself on live television.

According to unconfirmed reports, the head of state suffers from Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) which is quite common in older men.

The video which is trending on social media has attracted different opinions from social media users.

Others are trashing the one who leaked the video clip, questioning the intentions of leaking the sensitive video.

Others are surprised why everyone close to the president was not surprised with the situation.

A Sudanese woman has been sentenced to death by stoning for adultery by a high court.

Police in Sudan’s White Nile state arrested Maryam Alsyed Tiyrab, 20, last month, before her sentencing at the Kosti Criminal Court on June 26, Mail Online reports.

The publication said Ms Tiyrab had separated from her husband and moved back to her family’s home, before she was interrogated by a police who allegedly obtained an illegal confession from her.

She is appealing against the decision with the hope High Court will strike down the ruling.

Ms Tiyrab was reportedly denied legal representation, and her trial commenced without obtaining a formal complaint from the police, which human rights groups say is irregular.

Under Islamic law, Hudud crimes enforced in Sudan carry penalties such as the amputation of hands and feet, flogging, and in rare cases, death.

The last known case of a woman sentenced to stoning for adultery was in South Kordofan state in 2013, but the High Court overturned the decision.

The African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS), based in Uganda called for Tiyrab’s ‘immediate and unconditional release’ and accused the Sudanese government of violating domestic and international law.

‘The application of the death penalty by stoning for the crime of adultery is a grave violation of international law, including the right to life and the prohibition of torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment,’ the centre said in a statement.

Internet and mobile services were interrupted in Sudan this week as thousands of people again took to the streets of the Khartoum on Thursday to protest against military rule, local media reported.

According to BBC News Africa, some bridges between Khartoum and the adjoining cities of Omdurman and Bahri have closed ahead of the rally

Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok resigned on Sunday, amid a political deadlock and widespread protests following a military coup that derailed the country’s fragile transition to democracy. Hamdok said the country was at a “dangerous turning point that threatens its whole survival.”

Furthermore, Sudan’s coup leader rejected calls by the troika on Sudan — comprising the United States, Britain, and Norway — and the European Union (EU) to appoint a new prime minister in accordance with a constitutional declaration which gives the right of his nomination to the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC), the Sudan Tribune reported on Wednesday.

After the resignation of Hamdok, the troika and the EU on Tuesday urged the commander in chief of the Sudanese army, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, to select a prime minister after dialogue with his partners in the transitional authority that has been in place since 2019, the Sudan Tribune reported.
A fresh wave of anti-coup protests flared up across Sudan in December as demonstrators continued to call for an end to the military rule established in early October.

The Sudanese Professionals Association, which led the protests on Thursday, issued a statement the evening before, urging citizens to get involved in demanding civilian rule, Xinhua news agency reported.

More than 50 people have been killed at protests since the coup, including at least two on Sunday, according to the pro-democracy group the Sudan Central Doctors’ Committee.

Sudanese Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok has resigned.

Hamdok announced his resignation on Sunday evening in a televised speech, saying he worked to spare the country from descending into disaster; and stressing that the solution to the current political crisis will only be possible through dialogue that includes all parties.

“The transitional government faced enormous challenges, the most important of which are the distortion of the national economy; suffocating international isolation; corruption and debts that exceeded $60 billion; the deterioration of the civil service, education and health; the destruction of the social fabric; and other difficulties.”

SOUTH SUDAN – Social media has been flooded with photos of two teenagers vowing to stay together forever.

Wiyual, 16, and his 15-year-old partner Biel, got married on December 18, 2021 in Gambella, Ethiopia.

The ceremony was reportedly graced and blessed by both parents and religious leaders.

According to local media, the legal age to get married in South Sudan is 18.

The young couple’s wedding photos have been making the round on Facebook with many condemning the arranged marriage.

One John Ndungu blamed the parents and religious leaders who supported the marriage. He wrote;

“I blame the parents and the religious leaders. They’re supposed to be role models and mentors to young generations. Some parents are so materialistic, I say this because the girl’s parents I’m very sure were after the dowry which in Sudanese culture is hefty amount of money or herds of cattle,” he wrote.

Sudan’s top general Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Sunday denied that military and paramilitary members of the transitional administration could run for the country’s July 2023 elections.

“The president of the Sovereign Council denied what the Agence France-Presse reported about the participation of the military in the upcoming elections,” his office said in a statement. Sudan has been run by a joint military-civilian ruling council since August 2019, but civilian members were changed following a coup in October this year.

AFP asked Burhan in an interview on Saturday whether the military components and the paramilitary members of the transitional Council will be able to participate in elections planned for 2023.

Burhan responded by saying the August 2019 deal had “included a clear clause that all participants of the transitional period will not be allowed to take part of the period that directly follows it
But a landmark 2020 peace deal with rebel groups “granted some participants to the transitional period the right to become part of the government” that followed the transition, he said.

The statement issued on Sunday said Burhan meant that only ex-rebel groups which signed a peace deal in 2020 could be candidates in the planned elections.

Burhan — Sudan’s de facto leader since the ouster of longtime autocrat Omar al-Bashir in April 2019 — removed the civilian government and declared a state of emergency on October 25, upending the planned three-year transition to full civilian rule.

Burhan’s interview with AFP was one of a series he gave to international media a day after UN chief Antonio Guterres, in a report submitted to the Security Council, called Sudan hostile to journalists. On November 21, Burhan signed a deal to reinstate Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok who was ousted in the coup and kept for weeks under house arrest.

The Burhan-Hamdok agreement was welcomed by the United Nations (UN), the African Union (AU), Saudi Arabia and Egypt. It was also cautiously greeted by Britain and the United States.

But critics have lambasted it as “whitewashing” and accused Hamdok of “betrayal”. Pro-democracy activists vowed to maintain pressure on the military-civilian authority. The top general has long insisted the military’s move on October 25 “was not a coup” but a step “to rectify the transition.

Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok said Saturday he has replaced Sudan’s police chiefs after more than 40 people were killed in a crackdown on protests following last month’s military coup.

Military chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan seized power and detained Hamdok on October 25, but after international condemnation and mass protests he reinstated the premier in a November 21 deal.

Medics say at least 42 people were killed as security forces sought to crush weeks of anti-coup demonstrations, with protests continuing even after Hamdok’s release from house arrest and return to his post last week.

On Saturday, Hamdok said he had sacked the director-general of the police, Khaled Mahdi Ibrahim al-Emam, and his deputy, Ali Ibrahim.

In their place, he appointed Anan Hamed Mohamed Omar with Abdelrahman Nasreddine Abdallah as his deputy, the premier said in a statement.

Medics have accused security forces of targeting protesters in the “head, neck and torso” with live ammunition, as well as with rubber-coated bullets and tear gas canisters.

Sudan’s military plans to reinstate ousted Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and release detained civilian leaders after last month’s military coup.

Hamdok was placed under house arrest when the military seized power and declared a state of emergency, dissolved the interim government, and arrested the civilian leadership in October.

Fadlallah Burma Nasir, head of the Umma Party, confirmed the deal to reporters on Sunday.

A group of Sudanese mediators also released a statement on the agreement. Said Nasir: “A political agreement has been reached between General Burhan, Abdalla Hamdok, political forces, and civil society organizations for Hamdok’s return to his position, and the release of political detainees.”

Hamdok will form an independent cabinet of technocrats and all political detainees will be released under the deal between the military and political parties, said Nasir.

Nasir added that he took part in a meeting late on Saturday in which mediators reached the agreement.

The Sovereign Council will hold a meeting on Sunday before announcing the deal, said a source with knowledge of the talks.

The military coup three weeks ago led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan derailed Sudan’s transition towards the civilian rule.

The takeover ended a transitional partnership between the military and civilian groups that helped topple former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019.

South Sudan’s second deputy speaker of the recently reconstituted parliament has appealed to lawmakers to take up English classes to easy communication between themselves in the country’s official language.

Rt. Hon. Awerial Aluong while speaking at an event this past week said some of the parliamentarians are facing difficulties in participating in deliberations which are usually done in English as the “official language’ of business in the assembly.

While some members of the public are asking the parliament to use translation softwares, others say it is essential for members of the house to undertake intensive English courses.

“He has done well. Some of them are embarrassing themselves and the country,” said a commentator, according to Talk of Juba.

“The deputy speaker must be new in that parliament, the conduct of business allows any member to communicate in any language that they know better as long as they take permission from the speaker, then the speaker will ask for translation. It is not a law that they have to use English,” argues another.

“The fact that English is the official language in this country, the reason can be to enable members to have a medium of communication when sent on foreign missions,” another thought.

In August this year, over 650 members of the legislative assembly were sworn in.

Authorities in Sudan have released Al Jazeera Media Network’s bureau chief in Khartoum, two days after he was arrested during a midnight raid on his home.

The journalist was among hundreds of people taken into custody amid mass protests across Sudan against a military power grab last month.

Al Jazeera had condemned his arrest in the “strongest terms”, calling the military’s action “reprehensible” and urging its journalists to be allowed to operate unhindered.

The Qatar-based broadcaster also said it holds the Sudanese military responsible for the safety of all its employees. El Kabbashi’s arrest is not the first time Sudanese authorities have singled out Al Jazeera.

In 2019, security forces closed the network’s office in Khartoum and revoked the work permits of the network’s correspondents in the country.

General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who led the military’s takeover on October 25, reappointed himself as head of the ruling Sovereign Council on Thursday

He also announced new members to the transitional body, including military and former rebel fighters on the deposed council.

Al-Burhan insists the takeover was not a coup but a “push to rectify the course of the transition”.

His move came as the military was due to hand over the leadership of the Sovereign Council to civilians in the coming months.

Sudan’s General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Thursday ordered the release of four ministers detained since he led a military power grab last week, state-run television said.

The releases came as the army said the formation of a new government was “imminent”.

“The Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces has ordered the release of Hashem Hassab Alrasoul, Ali Geddo, Hamza Baloul, Youssef Adam,” Sudan TV said.

Alrasoul is the telecommunications minister, Geddo heads the trade ministry, Baloul is the information minister, and Adam holds the youth and sports portfolio.

Burhan — Sudan’s de facto leader since the 2019 ouster of autocratic President Omar al-Bashir — last week dissolved the government, detained the civilian leadership, and declared a state of emergency.

Sudan’s army said earlier Thursday that a new government was on the way.

“We are considering all internal and external initiatives to serve the national interest,” Burhan’s media advisor Taher Abouhaga said. “The government formation is imminent.”

The ministers’ release came shortly after a phone call between Burhan and UN chief Antonio Guterres, who personally appealed to the military chief to restore the democratic transition.

Guterres encouraged “all efforts toward resolving the political crisis in Sudan and urgently restoring the constitutional order and Sudan’s transitional process”, a United Nations statement said.

Sudan has since August 2019 been ruled by a joint civilian-military council as part of the now derailed transition to full civilian rule.

Deepening splits and long-simmering tensions between the military and civilians have marred the transition.

Western diplomats have called for Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok’s reinstatement, while Arab powerhouses such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE urged the civilian-led transition to be restored.

Burhan, a veteran general who served under Bashir’s three-decades-long rule, insisted the army takeover was “not a coup” but a move “to rectify the course of the transition”.

A plane crash at Juba International Airport on Tuesday morning has left five people dead, the airport country director has confirmed.

“The event happened this morning as the plane was taking off at 10.36 am heading to Maban in the Upper Nile State.

The cargo plane, which is owned by Optimum Aviation, had been chartered by Auro Aviation to carry fuel and some other small items. It had five people board, who all perished.

“Rescue team from the International Committee of Red Cross went there to search. The deceased are identified as two Russian, two Sudanese and one South Sudanese,” Mr Kur Kuol told The EastAfrican via cellphone.

The latest crash brings to 87 the number of people killed in aircraft accidents since South Sudan gained Independence IN 2011.

In March this year, a commercial plane crash in Jonglei State left at least 11 people dead.

Earlier in January, a military went down in Lakes State, leaving four people injured, according to Rumbek aviation authority.

In August last year, a chartered plane owned by South West Aviation Company crashed shortly after taking off from Juba International Airport, killing eight people on board.

A South Link aircraft in July last year crashed in defunct Fangak State in Greater Jonglei State carrying humanitarian aid staff. There was no fatality in the incident.

Also in September 2018, a South West Aviation Company’s plane crashed in Yirol Town of Lakes State killing over 20 people including a popular bishop and other government officials.

IATA neglected call

On February 8, 2021, the International Air Transport Association in a letter to South Sudan’s civil aviation authority called for the implementation of safety standards.

The association stressed that many interventions have not resulted in a clear improvement in safety performance.

In addition, the aviation body claimed that Juba is considered a challenging operational environment due to the following reported deficiencies; air traffic services, industrial action by civilian air traffic service personnel and deployment of military air traffic controllers to replace civilian personnel among others.

The chairman of Sudan’s ruling body General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Monday announced the dissolution of the transitional government and the sovereign council and declared a nationwide state of emergency.

Just hours after the information ministry said most of the civilians in the two bodies had been detained, including the prime minister, Burhan reiterated his commitment to “the transition towards a civilian state”.

He said he would form a “competent” government, pledged to create numerous state institutions like the supreme court, and said Sudan remained committed to international agreements it had signed.

Soldiers stormed the headquarters of Sudan’s state broadcaster and detained some employees in the morning, the information ministry said, as part of what it has called a “coup”.

“Joint military forces have stormed the TV and radio headquarters in Omdurman and detained a number of staff,” the ministry said in a statement posted on Facebook.

Following news of Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok’s house arrest, demonstrators took to the streets and blocked roads in Khartoum, Sudan’s capital city.

Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok was put under house arrest on Monday after an unidentified military force occupied his house.

Reports also indicate that civilian members of the Sudan government were taken into custody amid growing tensions between the generals and the pro-democracy movement that fuelled the uprising against former president Omar al-Bashir.

Amongst those that have been taken into custody is the that ministers of Cabinet Affairs, Industry, Information.

This is according to Al Hadath TV, a local news network, which cited unidentified sources.

Neither the government nor the military has commented on the development.

The reported house arrest comes shortly after Sudan’s military arrested Hamdok’s media advisor.

Unidentified military personnel also arrested four cabinet ministers and a civilian member of the ruling sovereign council, local reports said.

The arrests and Hamdok’s home detention come a month after a failed coup attempt. At the time, a top government source said the plotters had attempted to take over the state media building in September but “they failed”.

Former leader Omar al Bashir was ousted after months of street protests in 2019.

At least 36 people have been killed and dozens wounded after clashes between Arab and non-Arab tribes in South Darfur over the weekend.

The fighting broke out on Saturday between the Arab Taisha and ethnic African Fallata tribes in the remote Um Dafuq area of South Darfur, witnesses said.

Official news agency SUNA said calm was restored by Monday.

“Military forces were deployed to the areas of clashes to resolve the conflict between Fallata and Taisha tribes which left 36 killed and 32 wounded,” SUNA reported late on Sunday quoting South Darfur officials.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the clashes but similar fighting often erupts in the Darfur region over land and access to water.

Um Dafuq resident Eissa Omar told AFP news agency “we heard the sound of heavy weapons throughout the fighting” which broke out Saturday and continued on Sunday.

The vast Darfur region, located in western Sudan, has been the scene of similar bouts of violence in recent months.

In April, at least 132 people were killed in West Darfur fighting between members of the Massalit tribe and Arab communities, forcing authorities to impose a state of emergency.

In January, renewed clashes between Arab and non-Arab tribes in the West and South Darfur regions killed more than 250 people.

The violence came as Sudan navigates a rocky transition following the toppling of longtime President Omar al-Bashir in April 2019, after mass protests against his rule.

The transitional government installed after Bashir’s removal has been pushing to end long-running conflicts including in Darfur.

It signed a landmark peace agreement with multiple key rebel groups in October, and it is currently in talks to forge peace with the remaining two holdout groups.

The recent violence in Darfur appeared not to involve any signatories to the October peace deal.

On December 31, a hybrid United Nations and African Union peacekeeping mission ended its operations in Darfur.

Darfur was the site of a bitter 2003 conflict pitting African ethnic minority rebels against Arab nomads backed by the Khartoum government under Bashir.

The deadly conflict which killed some 300,000 people and displaced 2.5 million subsided over the years but inter-ethnic clashes still occasionally erupt.

Hundreds of women demonstrated in Khartoum on Thursday demanding reforms to ensure equality, two years on since the mass protests that led to the fall of dictator Omar al-Bashir.

“No to laws discriminating against women,” one placard read, waved by women as they marched through the streets of the capital, an AFP correspondent reported.

“We call on the government… to have the courage to continue the civilisation of the state,” a coalition of women’s rights groups wrote in a letter addressed to the prime minister and justice minister.

It also demands the repeal of discriminatory laws and for Sudan to adopt “international charters and treaties on gender equality”.

Sudan has been undergoing a rocky transition since the army toppled Bashir in April 2019, following months of nationwide protests against his rule.

A transitional government was established four months after Bashir was deposed.

It is made up of a sovereign council, Sudan’s highest executive authority, and a cabinet, combining military and civilian figures.

Bashir himself is on trial over the Islamist-backed 1989 coup that brought him to power.
