The UN has warned that South Sudanโs plan to include disputed Abyei in its December 2026 elections could heighten political tensions with Sudan.
In a report to the Security Council, Secretary-General Antรณnio Guterres said the move is likely to โsignificantly increase political tensionsโ as the elections approach.
The warning comes as South Sudanโs National Elections Commission delivers voter registration materials to Abyei ahead of the polls.โ๏ธ

This is already a sign that this election is not ready to be held this year & even if they do it Salva Kiir has his owned agendas to why he wanted to make an election that is not even ready to be held in the first place.
QUICK FACTS | SOUTH SUDAN'S DECEMBER ELECTIONS
With less than seven weeks to the December 22, 2026 general elections, here are a few things to know about the preparations:
The National Elections Commission (NEC) has just started delivering voter registration materials to states and administrative areas.
Voter registration has yet to begin.
Registration will be conducted manually, in person and on paper across the country.
Nearly 90% of South Sudan's population lack government-recognised identification documents. The NEC says local chiefs will certify the identities of eligible voters without national IDs or passports.
Political parties are still conducting nomination and candidate-selection processes.
The NEC has yet to publish the list of candidates.
South Sudan is heading into the first-ever elections since independence without a permanent constitution or a national population census. Both were removed as preconditions for the December polls in 2025.

There's a new version of this post
South Sudanโs National Elections Commission has delivered voter registration materials to three states and three administrative areas ahead of the December 22 general elections.
The distribution covers Central Equatoria, Unity and Northern Bahr el Ghazal states, as well as Greater Pibor, Ruweng and Abyei administrative areas.
#Abyei remains disputed between Sudan and South Sudan. #Sudan has protested its planned inclusion in South Sudanโs electoral constituencies, arguing that the move violates agreements governing the territory.
In Kenya, 52% of journalists earn less than about KSh 50,000 (US$385) a month. In South Sudan, most journalists earn less than $100 monthly. That's quite a contrast.
The financial reality of journalism in South Sudan is undeniably among the harshest in the region.
A journalist here wakes up every morning facing the temptation to quit because of poor pay.
That's how difficult it can be to keep going. @StandardKenya

The Russian leader emphasised the growth of trade in addition to maintaininh cultural and humanitarian ties.
"We help train skilled labour for Kenya, and we increase the quota for young people from your country; as far as I know, they enjoy their studies in Russia."
Other stuff omitted, ignored.
