Guddiga Doorashooyinka Qaranka ayaa sheegay in doorashooyinka madaxtinimada iyo sharci-dejinta loo beddelay Feb. 11 halkii ay ahaan lahaayeen Dec. 22.
Guddiga Doorashooyinka Qaranka Suudaan Koonfured ayaa sheegay in doorashooyinka madaxtinimada iyo sharci-dejinta, oo loo qorsheeyay Dec. 22, hadda la qaban doono Feb. 11. Wasiirka Warfaafinta Ateny Wek Ateny ayaa sheegay in dib-u-dhigista ay u ogolaanayso waqti dheeraad ah oo loo qoro codbixiyayaasha loona barto habka doorashada.
Doorasho aan horay u dhacn
Suudaan Koonfured, oo ah dal ka mid ah kuwa ugu yar adduunka, ma qaban doorasho qaran tan iyo markii ay xornimada ka qaadatay Suudaan 2011. Tan iyo markaas, Madaxweyne Salva Kiir ayaa xukumayay dalka. 2013, dagaal sokeeye ayaa ka dhex qarxay dowladda iyo ciimaha uu hoggaaminayo Riek Machar, oo ahaa hoggaamiyaha mucaaradka ugu weyn.
Heshiiskii nabadda oo daciifay
Heshiis nabadeed oo 2018 lagu soo afjaray dagaalka ayaa Riek Machar ka dhigay madaxweyne-ku-xigeen dowlad ku-meel-gaar ah. Heshiiskaas ayaa sii daciifay tan iyo March 2025, markii Machar lagu xiray gurigiisa magaalada Juba lagana soo oogay eed ku saabsan khiyaano qaran. Bilihii u dambeeyay, dowladda ayaa beddelay xubnihii mucaaradka ee baarlamaanka oo ay ku beddeshay taageerayaasheeda, dowladdii midnimadana way kala dirtay.
Caqabado iyo digniin
Machar oo si wax ku ool ah loo dhinac-mariyay, ma jiraan tartame lagu kalsoonaan karo oo ka horyimaada Salva Kiir, kaas oo si ballaaran loo filayo inuu ku guuleysto doorashada madaxtinimada. Shaqaalaha dowladda lama siin mushahar in ka badan sannad, qaybo ka mid ah dalkana waxaa gacanta ku haya kooxo hubaysan. Bishii March, in ka badan 200 qof ayaa lagu dilay xasuuq ka dhacay gobolka Unity State oo u dhow xadka Suudaan, sida ay sheegeen kooxaha xuquuqda aadanaha.
International Crisis Group ayaa toddobaadkan war-bixin u dirtay Golaha Ammaanka ee Qaramada Midoobay, iyadoo ku sheegtay in duruufaha doorasho lagu kalsoonaan karo aysan hadda jirin, doorasho degdeg ahna ay noqon karto dharbaaxo kama dambays ah oo ku timid qaabkii 2018. Wasiirka Warfaafinta Ateny Wek Ateny ayaa qirtay in dowladda aysan gaari karin qaybo yar oo dalka ka mid ah, laakiin uu sheegay in doorashadu noqon doonto mid lagu kalsoonaan karo.
The National Elections Commission moved the presidential and legislative vote from Dec. 22, citing time needed for voter registration and education.
South Sudan's first national election has been postponed, officials said. The National Elections Commission said in a statement that the presidential and legislative elections, scheduled for Dec. 22, would be held on Feb. 11 instead.
Why Officials Say the Vote Was Moved
Information Minister Ateny Wek Ateny said the postponement would allow more time to register voters and educate them about the process. South Sudan has never held a national election since gaining independence from Sudan in 2011, and President Salva Kiir has ruled the country since then.
A Peace Deal Under Strain
In 2013, civil war broke out between the government and forces loyal to the main opposition leader, Riek Machar. Under a 2018 peace agreement, Machar became vice president in a transitional government. The deal has unraveled since March 2025, when Machar was placed under house arrest in Juba and charged with treason. In recent months, the government has replaced opposition lawmakers with its own supporters and dissolved the unity government.
Logistical Hurdles and Warnings
With Machar effectively sidelined, there are no credible challengers to Kiir, who is widely expected to win. Civil servants have not been paid in more than a year, and parts of the country are controlled by armed groups, including Machar's forces. The International Crisis Group said: "The conditions for credible polls are not currently in place." Ateny acknowledged the government could not access "small parts" of the country but said the election would be credible.
