 South Sudan's president, Salvekir Mayadith, has reconstituted the national parliament after one of the formations of the unity government on Monday. The others are being announced on state TV, South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation. This comes a day after the president dissolved both the Transitional National Legislative Assembly and the Council of States. The move is in line with the provisions of the peace agreement. The Democratic Republic of Congo's armed forces have handed over 13 children rescued from armed groups to the United Nations missions in the Central African country. The children ranging from 13 to 17 years old were held hostage for nearly three weeks after clashes between the Ugandan-aligned Democratic forces rebels and a May-May rebel group in the territory of Beni in North Kivu province and Urumo in Iturik province. Monusko immediately transferred the children to the concrete actions for child protection, a partner of UNICEF.
