South Sudan’s oil sector faces growing scrutiny over transparency and environmental impact, as officials and international observers call for stronger oversight mechanisms, per eyeRadio.org.

The U.S. Embassy in Juba has raised concerns about the lack of clarity in the country's mining and oil industries, urging greater accountability in resource management, eyeRadio.org reports.

Meanwhile, a recent report from the National Bureau of Statistics projects South Sudan’s population to reach 20.3 million by 2030, highlighting demographic shifts that may influence future policy directions, sudanspost.com notes.
