> The UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan says changes to political and electoral arrangements are undermining the 2018 peace agreement. Its chair, Yasmin Sooka, called President Salva Kiir’s concentration of power a “constitutional coup,” warning that dismantled power-sharing could threaten the fragile transition and raise the risk of renewed conflict before the election.
