Play Video: South Sudan: On the brink of Civil War as violence escalates - Press Conference | United Nations

UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for South Sudan Nicholas Haysom warned said that the country “is teetering on the edge of a relapse into civil war.” Addressing the press today (24 Mar), Haysom said that the political and security situation has significantly deteriorated since the White Army, “that is a youth militia, overran barracks previously occupied by the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) in Nasir on the 4th of March. In retaliation, communities across Upper Nile are being subjected to persistent aerial bombardment using devices, barrel bombs, allegedly containing a highly flammable liquid that acts as an accelerant on explosion.” He continued, “These indiscriminate attacks on civilians are causing significant casualties and horrific injuries, especially burns, including to women and children.” According to humanitarian partners, Haysom added, at least 63,000 people have fled the area. He also said, “We are receiving reports of further mobilization of White Army and SSPDF forces in Upper Nile, allegedly including children forcibly recruited into the ranks of the respective armed formations. This, in addition to the deployment of foreign forces at the request of the South Sudan government, is further fueling fear and anxiety across the country. On the political front, Haysom reported that some senior military and civilian officials affiliated with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) have been replaced or removed from their official positions while others have been detained, gone into hiding, or fled the country. He added, “Rampant misinformation, disinformation and hate speech is also ratcheting up tensions and driving ethnic divisions, and fear.” He stated, “Given this grim situation, we are left with no other conclusion, but to assess that South Sudan is teetering on the edge of a relapse into civil war.” To try and prevent this outcome, United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) is engaging in intense shuttle diplomacy, alongside international and regional peace partners, including the African Union (AU), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (RJMEC). According to UNMISS head, the region and the international community have also been actively engaged. He also informed the press that the high-level visit by IGAD foreign ministers to Juba was today postponed to the 3rd of April by the Government “at the last minute, and without explanation.” He highlighted, “The collective message of the region and the international community is the same. We remain convinced that there is only one way out of the cycle of conflict and that is to return to the Revitalized Peace Agreement, in letter and spirit.” This includes strict adherence to the ceasefire, the release of detained officials or their treatment in accordance with legal process, an immediate return to consensus-based decision-making, and the resolution of tensions through dialogue rather than military confrontation. He also encouraged the President and First Vice President to meet to resolve their differences constructively and make a joint public statement that reassures all South Sudanese of their united, steadfast commitment to peace.

Play Video: UN peace operations, Gaza & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (24 March 2025) | United Nations

Noon Briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Security Council - Gaza - Occupied Palestinian Territory - Lebanon/Peacekeeping - Lebanon/Humanitarian - Ukraine - Democratic Republic Of The Congo - Sudan - Afghanistan - Libya - Rohingya Refugees - International Days - General Assembly Event - Upcoming Briefings - Noon Briefing Guest SECURITY COUNCIL The Secretary-General spoke to the Security Council this morning during a special session on UN peace operations. He reminded council members that UN peace operations safeguard people and communities in some of the most desperate places on earth, adding that they represent a critical tool at the Council’s disposal to maintain international peace and security. At their best, he said, they show how, when the UN comes together to address challenges, the burden is diminished on individual countries. But, Mr. Guterres added that peace operations face serious barriers that demand new approaches. The Secretary-General said that work is now underway to review all forms of peace operations, as requested by Member States in the recently adopted Pact for the Future. He said the review will build on the analysis presented in the New Agenda for Peace and it will be informed by the first comprehensive study of the history of special political missions in the 80 years of this organization and that report which will be released soon. The review will also help inform efforts - through the UN@80 initiative - to find efficiencies and improvements across our work, in light of the continued funding challenges we face as an organization. GAZA In the past week, Israel carried out devastating strikes on Gaza, claiming the lives of hundreds of civilians, including United Nations personnel, with no humanitarian aid being allowed to enter the Gaza Strip since early March. As a result, the Secretary-General has taken the difficult decision to reduce the United Nations’ footprint in Gaza, even as humanitarian needs soar and our concern over the protection of civilians intensifies. The United Nations is not leaving Gaza. We remain committed to continuing to provide aid that civilians depend on for their survival and protection. More than three weeks ago, the Israeli Government cut off the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza – which is the longest such suspension since 7 October 2023. Israeli officials have indicated that they intend to continue their military activities in Gaza. Based on the information that is currently available, the strikes hitting a UN compound in Deir Al Balah on 19 March were caused by an Israeli tank shell. The strikes claimed the life of a UN colleague from Bulgaria and left six others – from France, Moldova, North Macedonia, Palestine and the United Kingdom – with severe injuries, some of them life-altering. The location of this UN compound was well known to all the parties to the conflict. I reiterate that all parties to the conflict are bound by international law to protect the inviolability of United Nations premises. Without this, our colleagues face intolerable risks as they work to save the lives of civilians. The Secretary-General strongly condemns these strikes and demands a full, thorough and independent investigation into this incident. All parties must comply fully with international law at all times. Civilians must be respected and they must be protected. The denial of lifesaving aid must end. The hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally. All States must use their leverage to stop the conflict and ensure respect for international law – by applying diplomatic and economic pressure and combating impunity. The Secretary-General renews his urgent call for the restoration of the ceasefire to bring an end to the anguish.

Play Video: UN Peace Ops must evolve to face modern threats – UN Chief's Briefing | United Nations

“Peace operations are designed not only to be an effective example of multilateralism in action — but a cost-effective one,” Secretary-General António Guterres said, urging reforms to confront global threats. Addressing the Security Council during an open debate today (Mar 24) António Guterres called for a critical overhaul of United Nations peace operations to ensure they remain effective amid rising global instability, warning that “terror and extremist groups, organized crime, the weaponization of new technologies, and the effects of climate change are all testing our capacities to respond.” Guterres also emphasized that UN peacekeeping must evolve to meet modern challenges. “Work is now underway to review all forms of peace operations,” he said, referencing Member States’ request under the Pact for the Future. “The review will aim to critically examine these tools and propose concrete recommendations to make them fit for today.” Guterres described the current geopolitical environment as increasingly fractured. “Geopolitical divisions are undermining peace… Violations of international law, human rights and the UN Charter are rampant - seemingly without consequence,” he said. “Trust is in short supply among - and within - countries and regions.” The review will draw on the New Agenda for Peace and incorporate a forthcoming comprehensive study on special political missions over the UN’s 80-year history. “Throughout, we will hold extensive consultations to capture as wide a spectrum of views as possible,” he added, citing engagement with host States, troop and police contributors, civil society, and UN leadership. Peace operations, Guterres stressed, are not only multilateral by design but cost-efficient. “At their best, they show how when the UN comes together to address challenges, the burden is diminished on individual countries alone.” Jenna Russo, Director of Research at the International Peace Institute, echoed calls for reform, urging the UN to foster a “risk tolerant culture” within missions. “Peacekeepers often feel the best they can do is keep their heads down and not make waves,” she said. “Personnel are structurally disincentivized from trying new things and reporting what doesn't work… for fear that their budgets and jobs may suffer consequences.” Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, presiding over the Council, underscored the continued importance of peacekeeping despite its flaws. “For millions, the blue flag and the blue helmet are symbols of hope,” he said. “To the families sheltering in an IDP camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo, they mean protection; to the communities affected by climate change in South Sudan, it means support; to the women and girls facing persecution in Afghanistan, the blue flag means inclusion.”

Play Video: World Water Development Report - Press Conference | United Nations

The 2025 edition of the United Nations World Water Development Report highlighted the importance of mountain waters, including alpine glaciers, which are vital for meeting basic human needs such as water supply and sanitation. They are also essential to ensuring food and energy security to billions of people living in and around mountain regions and areas downstream. They also support economic growth through various water-reliant industries. As the ‘water towers’ of the world, mountains are an essential source of fresh water. They store water in the form of ice and snow during cold seasons, releasing it during warmer seasons as a major source of fresh water for users downstream. Mountains play a unique and critical role in the global water cycle, and they affect atmospheric circulation, which drives weather and precipitation patterns. Speaking to reporters at the launch of the report today (21 Mar), Bhanu Neupane, Process Coordinator for the UNESCO World Water Development Report said, “The facts are clear. We are not just approaching a global water crisis. We are already living it.” “Solutions do exist,” the UNESCO official said, reiterating that “we must invest in better water monitoring and management. We must strengthen international cooperation, primarily to bring a new era of multilateral and multi-stakeholder collaboration. We must act now, because climate change is accelerating, water crisis and delays will cost lives.” Neupane also said, “mountains are not just landscape. They are the lifeline of our planet. The water sustains billions of people.” He concluded, “the water security is not a future problem but it exists now; and mountains are dramatically changing. The question is whether or not we will change with the mountains.”

Play Video: Sixth night of protests in Turkey as Erdogan hits out at unrest | BBC News

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has blamed opposition parties for provoking a "movement of violence" as protests in the country continued for a sixth night. Unrest began in Istanbul last Wednesday when the city's Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu - Erdogan's main political rival - was detained on corruption charges. Imamoglu said the allegations against him were politically motivated, a claim Erdogan has denied. Turkey's main opposition party, the Republican People's Party's (CHP), which announced Imamoglu as its presidential candidate on Sunday, said the demonstrations will end on Tuesday, without saying what the next steps would be. In figures released before Monday evening's gatherings, the Turkish government said 1,133 people had been arrested since the protests began.

Play Video: Major US security blunder as Trump team shares top-secret war plans with journalist | BBC News

The White House has confirmed that a journalist was inadvertently added to an insecure group chat in which leading US national security officials and the Vice-President JD Vance debated and planned a military strike in Yemen. The Atlantic magazine's Jeffrey Goldberg was included on a Signal message group with Vice-President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth among its members. He saw classified military plans for US strikes on Houthi rebels, including precise details of weapons packages, targets and timing, two hours before the first bombs struck. Goldberg said he was added to the message chain, apparently by accident, after receiving a connection request from someone who appeared to be White House National Security Adviser Michael Waltz. President Donald Trump told reporters that he was not aware of the Atlantic article. "The attacks on the Houthis have been highly successful and effective," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. "President Trump continues to have the utmost confidence in his national security team, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz." On 15 March the US launched what it described as a "decisive and powerful" series of air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. Four days earlier, on 11 March, Atlantic editor-in-chief Goldberg says he received the connection request on the encrypted messaging app Signal from an account that purported to be Mr Waltz's. Signal is used by journalists and Washington officials because of the secure nature of its communications, the ability to create aliases, and to send disappearing messages. Two days later, Goldberg said he was added to a Signal chat entitled "Houthi PC small group." A number of accounts that appeared to belong to cabinet members and national security officials were included in the 18-person chat, Goldberg reported. Accounts labelled "JD Vance", the name of the vice-president; "Pete Hegseth," the defence secretary; and "John Ratcliffe," director of the Central Intelligence Agency; were among names in the chain. Top national security officials from various agencies also appeared in it, including Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's director of national intelligence, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have returned to Romania after a trip to the US. Tate posted a picture on his X account, apparently showing the pair on a private jet. The brothers remain under ‘judicial control’ in Romania and will reportedly register at a police station on Monday. The controversial British-American influencers face six legal investigations - four criminal and two civil - in Romania, the UK and US. In Romania, the brothers are accused of human-trafficking and organising a group to sexually exploit women. Andrew Tate is also accused of rape. They deny all allegations against them. Some reports suggested Romanian authorities had been pressured by the Trump administration to lift a travel ban on the brothers and allow them to fly to the US. But President Donald Trump denied this, while Governor Ron DeSantis gave the Tate brothers a frosty welcome when they landed in Florida. Nevertheless, the Tate brothers remain popular among some elements of the American right, with social media posts railing against feminism and the “global elite”, while flaunting an ultra-luxurious lifestyle.

After nearly two years of war, Sudan’s military has seized the Republican Palace, a key stronghold of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum. The palace, once the seat of government, is now partly in ruins. Soldiers inside declared victory, marking a major symbolic moment. Despite this gain, fighting continues. The RSF still controls parts of Darfur and key areas outside Khartoum. Both sides have accused each other of war crimes. The conflict has killed over 28,000 people, with millions displaced. Sudan now faces one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with famine and blocked aid worsening conditions. The war began in 2023 after a power struggle between military leader Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan and RSF commander Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo. With the RSF pushed out of the capital, the conflict is far from over, and civilians continue to bear the brunt of the violence.
