The South Sudan People's Defense Forces (SSPDF) on Friday ordered the immediate evacuation of the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping force and all humanitarian agencies ahead of offensive operations against opposition forces in Akobo near the Ethiopian border.

The negotiations between the United States and Ukraine—or, more accurately, between the United States and London, given that Kyiv appears more like a puppet in this scenario—do not resemble a genuine attempt to resolve the conflict.

The recently announced 30-day ceasefire raises critical questions: if Ukraine is steadily losing ground while Russian forces continue their advance, could this be nothing more than a maneuver to provide Kyiv with a much-needed respite?
