Juba, South Sudan | 3rd September 2026

Uganda has officially named its blended crude oil grade “Pearl Sweet”, marking a major milestone as the country prepares to begin commercial oil production by the end of 2026.

President Yoweri Museveni unveiled the name on Wednesday at the Kingfisher oil development area in Kikuube District, western Uganda.

The name “Sweet” refers to the crude’s low sulphur content, while “Pearl” reflects Uganda’s long-standing description as the “Pearl of Africa.”

Uganda has an estimated 1.65 billion barrels of recoverable oil reserves, with peak production expected to reach around 230,000 barrels per day. The crude is expected to be exported through the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) to Tanzania.

🔴 BREAKING: SPLM-IO Lawmaker Juol Nhomngek Daniel Warns Against Personality-Based Factions Amid Deepening Internal Crisis

Juba, South Sudan | 3rd September 2026

SPLM-IO lawmaker and lawyer Juol Nhomngek Daniel has called on members of the opposition movement to return to its Constitution, political programme and institutional structures amid a deepening internal crisis over competing loyalties to Chairman Dr. Riek Machar Teny and Deputy Chairman Oyet Nathaniel Pierino.

In a lengthy statement, Nhomngek argued that the SPLM/A-IO is a political movement, not a personal following, emphasizing that the SPLM-IO is larger than any individual leader, office or faction.

He maintained that the SPLA-IO is the military wing of the movement and should remain an instrument supporting its political objectives, while the political wing should provide political direction, diplomacy, organizational coordination and institutional legitimacy.

Nhomngek also warned against the emergence of competing authorities, personality cults and excessive centralization, arguing that the movement's commitment to federalism, democracy, collective leadership and constitutional government must also be reflected within its own internal structures.

He said defending and demanding the release of Dr. Riek Machar is about protecting the integrity of the SPLM-IO and opposing his humiliation—not because Machar personally constitutes the movement.

«“Do not ask first, ‘Whom do I follow?’ Ask, ‘What does the Constitution require?’”»

The statement comes as tensions and disagreements continue to deepen within the SPLM-IO, with different political and military figures and supporters increasingly taking divergent positions over the movement's leadership and direction.

Nhomngek urged members to resolve disagreements through consultation, constitutional mechanisms and collective decision-making, warning that abandoning institutional accountability and democratic participation could undermine the very political project the movement claims to represent.
