If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 22, 2023.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 22, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose, among other things, that: (1) the Janssen Collaboration Agreement was less sustainable than Fate had represented to investors; (2) accordingly, certain of the clinical programs, milestone payments, and royalty payments associated with the Janssen Collaboration Agreement could not be relied upon as future revenue sources; (3) as a result, Fate had overstated the impact of the Janssen Collaboration Agreement’s on Fate’s long-term clinical and commercial profitability; and (4) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the truth emerged, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

2 youths killed in Abyei’s Mabuny area

Authorities in Abyei Administrative Area on Friday said that two youths were on Thursday killed in Mabuny village in Alal County by armed youth suspected to be from Twic County of Warrap State.

According to local officials, eight youths from Mabuny village were collecting wild honey in the forest at around 9 pm when the assailants opened fire on them killing 2 on the spot while the rest fled.

Kuol Chan, the Alal County acting commissioner, told Radio Tamazuj Friday that the attacked youth had 3 guns but fled because it was a surprise attack.

“The 8 youths were collecting honey in the forest in Mabuny village on Thursday night when they heard footsteps followed by gunshots. Armed youth believed to be from Twic County (Warrap State) attacked them and killed 2 of them,” he said. “The 6 ran away and had no injuries. These youth who were getting honey only had 6 guns with them and ran away without firing back.”

“We are now at the funeral of the deceased but the situation is calm and the SSPDF followed the perpetrators towards Twic until found the place where they rested and ate honey in the area of Awang thou village,” he added.

Chan said that intelligence information came through on Wednesday that armed Twic youth were assembled at Mabior Akoon Akech village in preparation to attack the Abyei area.

Meanwhile, Kelek Kon, the Abyei security advisor, confirmed the incident and said that the other counties were peaceful.

“On Thursday, there was an attack in Mabuny village in which armed youth suspected to belong to Twic County killed two persons who were collecting honey in the forest,” he said. “Rumamer, Mijak, and Amoth-Aguok counties remain calm because goods are coming from Sudan every day but the challenge is that goods coming from Wau to Abyei via Wunrock had to be escorted by SSPDF to the Abyei area.”

However, Mangok Kom, the acting commissioner of Twic County, said he had no details about the attack but denied that youth from his area were involved and claimed that his territory is always attacked by armed youth from Abyei and Unity state.

“I do not have any information but where were they attacked because the area south of the River Kiir belongs to Twic County. What were they doing south of River Kiir?” he asked. “Also, we have bad border relations with Unity State because armed Nuer youth working jointly with Abyei youth attack our areas through Ruweng County every day.”

Another Sudanese general renews calls to integrate RSF into the national army

General Yasir al-Atta Khartoum, a member of the Sovereign Council, joined calls by the army leaders to integrate the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) into the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF), saying that the existence of a parallel army would lead to the collapse of the country.

The influence of Mohamed Hamdan Daglo “Hemetti” RSF Commander and Deputy Head of the Sovereign Council, has been openly contested by the army’s top leaders after statements by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan SAF commander-in-chief on February 16, when he asserted his support for the Framework Agreement because it would end the parallel existence of the RSF.

“The RSF must be integrated into the blessed womb from which it was born earlier,” al-Atta said, referring to the army. ‘There is no respectable modern democracy with two armies. To establish a modern state, there must be a single, independent, national, and strong army under the authority of a political democratic state,” he stressed.

Al-Burhan and Hemetti are at odds over the framework agreement as the army chief calls to open the deal for more political forces in harmony with the position of two former rebel groups. The RSF commander call to be committed to the agreed parties.

Hemetti angered al-Burhan when he spoke about the involvement of former army generals in a coup attempt to overthrow the Russian-backed president of the Central African Republic. Also, he is blamed for his close cooperation with Russian mercenaries in the neighbouring country.

Al-Atta who was addressing a collective wedding in the River Nile State said that the combatants of the signatories of the Juba Peace Agreement should also be integrated into the national army in accordance with the Juba Peace Agreement.

After that, he referred again to the economic activities of the RSF commander, saying that “personal and economic gains in the sense of owning a private army could lead to the collapse of the Sudanese state.”

This is the first time that an army leader pinpoints the economic activities of the RSF leader who is working in the mining, agriculture and transport sectors.

On February 6, a member of the Sovereignty Council, Shams al-Din Kabbashi, called for the formation of a single army by integrating the paramilitary force into the army and implementing security arrangements for the armed groups.

Hemetti who is currently outside Sudan in the UAE reiterated on February 19, his commitment to the integration of the RSF into the national army and stressed that they are already part of the Sudan Armed Forces.

Al-Atta stated that the armed forces believe in the need to achieve the goals of the December revolution and the democratic transition.

He pledged that the army would work to protect the homeland from internal and external threats and protect the people’s choice for the democratic transition, in addition to its commitment to its duty to prevent the state from collapsing.

“The armed forces are not afraid of internal and external threats, and we renew the commitment of the commander-in-chief to support any keen effort to reach a democratic transition, achieve the dream of our youth and secure access to free and fair elections,” he said.

South Sudanese authorities must clarify on detained critic’s fate: rights group

South Sudanese authorities must clarify the fate and whereabouts of a detained critic, a rights group said Saturday.

On 4 February, Morris Mabior Awikjok Bak, a critic of the South Sudanese government was reportedly arbitrarily arrested or unlawfully abducted, allegedly by armed Kenyan security forces, a South Sudanese man and Kenyan woman in civilian clothes, in Nairobi, Kenya, where he resides.

It is believed Mabior was forcefully returned to the South Sudanese capital, Juba and is being held in incommunicado detention at a National Security Service (NSS) detention facility.

The Pan-African Lawyers Union (PALU) petitioned the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) to try and establish the fate and whereabouts of the critic.

“We applaud PALU’s efforts seeking, through the EACJ, to clarify the fate and whereabouts of Morris Mabior Awikjok Bak, a South Sudanese man who attempted to seek refuge in Kenya in 2021. We call on the South Sudanese authorities to, without further delay, clarify the fate and whereabouts of Morris Mabior Awikjok Bak,” said Amnesty International’s Deputy Regional Director for East and Southern Africa Flavia Mwangovya.

According the rights body, what happened to Mabior “matches a broader pattern of abductions and illegal transfers of South Sudanese refugees from neighbouring countries by the NSS of South Sudan”.

“In addition to clarifying the fate and whereabouts of Morris Mabior Awikjok Bak, the South Sudanese authorities must ensure he has regular access to his family, a lawyer and a doctor, and unless he is charged with an internationally recognisable offence, immediately release him,” said Mwangovya.

On 3 July 2019, Hope for Humanity Africa and PALU sued the Government of South Sudan and the Republic of Kenya at the EACJ concerning the abduction, enforced disappearance, illegal and/or extraordinary rendition, arbitrary detention, torture, and possible subsequent murder of Dong Samuel Luak and Aggrey Ezbon Idri. The case is still before the EACJ.

Since the NSS Act in 2014, the NSS has accumulated unchecked powers, becoming one of the main perpetrators of human rights violations and the most powerful security actor in South Sudan. On 21 February, however, South Sudan government agreed to remove sections 54 and 55 in the act that give NSS unconstitutional powers to arrest without and with a warrant, therewith agreeing to curb the NSS’s powers which, if enacted, would be a step towards bringing the 2014 NSS Act in line with the constitution.
