Dead Man Appointment Triggers Sacking of Aides in South Sudan

South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir dismissed his press secretary and a ministry administrator after an apparently flawed appointment put a deceased man, Steward Soroba Budia, on a panel to lead talks on December elections. Kiir’s office gave no reasons; the press secretary said the error stemmed from relying on stakeholders for names without proper verification. Budia, who died five years ago, had signed a 2018 peace agreement, and the panel is meant to steer elections amid ongoing conflict and displacement.

"Harvard's Antisemitism Task Force Chairman Withdraws Amid Controversy"

Derek Penslar, head of Harvard's anti-Semitism task force, backed out of a panel on anti-Semitism, citing an unwillingness to publicly discuss "goings on at Harvard" due to his role in the task force, which is still being formed. His selection to the task force has elicited widespread criticism, including from prominent Harvard alumni, and his previous actions, such as signing an "apartheid" letter, have sparked controversy. Panel participants expressed concerns about the chilling effect of words being twisted and exploited for political purposes in the fight against anti-Semitism at Harvard.
