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

SO WHAT: If you purchased Fate securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

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.”

History made as South Sudan outlast Senegal to qualify for the 2023 World Cup

South Sudan on Friday became the first team in African basketball history to qualify for the FIBA Basketball World Cup in their first attempt, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) reports.

Nuni Omot came up with a man-of-the-match performance to help South Sudan beat Senegal 83-75 and become the second African team – after Cote d’Ivoire – to qualify for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup to be held in Indonesia, Japan and Philippines.

It was a breathtaking encounter that saw two desperate teams looking to rewrite history. While Senegal hoped to boost their chances to return to the World Cup for the third straight time, South Sudan stepped on the floor looking to make history, and history was made.

This looked more like a battle between Nuni Omot and Senegal’s Brancou Badio.

But Omot, who opened the scoreline with a floater, turned out the reason South Sudan denied a defiant Senegalese team.

Omot was 7-for-14 from the floor to finish with a team-high of 26 points, he added 8 rebounds and dished out 4 assists.

Koch Bar came off the bench for Deng Acuoth who picked his second foul three minutes into the game, to add valuable 11 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists for the history making South Sudan.

Badio did everything he possibly could to keep Senegal at bay. From creating shooting opportunities, which resulted in 6 assists, to attacking the rim with a thunderous dunk on Sunday Dech, Badio finished with a game-high 29 points, but despite his effort, the night belonged to South Sudan.

TURNING POINT: South Sudan led by 14 early in the first half, but Senegal regained the lead in the third, leading by as many as 11 points. However, Bul Kuol buried two straight three-pointers that gave South Sudan a 77-67 lead with 2:35 minutes left, and, despite Senegal’s response, the damage was done.

GAME HERO: Omot, who plays for Senegal head coach DeSagana Diop at Westchester Knicks in the G League, was the face of South Sudan’s desperation. He hit a buzzer-beater three-pointer to help his team close the gap to 63-59 at the end of the third quarter, before adding another eight points in the final ten minutes.

STATS DON’T LIE: The eleven lead changes reflect the intensity of a game that could have gone either way. But the biggest difference of the game was South Sudan’s bench who outscored Senegal’s 33-14.

BOTTOM LINE: Senegal entered the game with a 2-0 head-to-head advantage over South Sudan dating back to the 2021 AfroBasket, but South Sudan’s high morale to write a new chapter in African basketball history proved too much for Senegal, who looked in control of the game in the third, but Luol Deng and his men weren’t prepared to delay their qualification for the World Cup for a few more days, and they did what they came to Alexandria for.

South Sudan will play the Democratic Republic of Congo on Saturday, February 25, and Egypt on Sunday, February 26.

Fans locked out

On the downside, fans were locked out of the game and a livid Luol Deng, South Sudan interim coach and federation president, lashed out at FIBA and the Egyptian Federation for denying his team’s supporters a moment of joyous history.

“This is going out to FIBA and the Egyptian Federation, we should be disappointed that we have a team in South Sudan that is about to make history, an incredible story not only for FIBA but for African Basketball, where fans are traveling from the states and other countries. Nobody brings in more fans like South Sudan right now, but for our fans to show up at the stadium and there was no notice that fans were not allowed in the game,” he lamented. “We were told that fans were allowed to come but this (Friday) morning we woke up and our fans were outside and had to stand there for the whole game because they were not allowed. FIBA and the Egyptian Federation should be ashamed and whatever is going in here needs to stop.”

“Basketball does not need this because this is a great story and we were robbed today from celebrating with our fans who came out here,” Deng added.

Mundiri East County authorities crackdown on tattoos

The local authorities in Mundiri East County in Western Equatoria State earlier this week started cracking down on a group of youth who have been tattooing themselves using a metal locally known as ‘Kansu’ which is heated on fire before being applied to the skin.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Friday, the county commissioner, Margaret Fozia, said the practice was introduced by a group of young boys and girls believed to have come from the capital Juba and who she says are spoiling the local youth.

“There are young boys and girls with dreadlocks and we do not know where they came from and they are mobilizing children and teenagers to write “I love you” on their legs,” she said. “It is written using a metal placed on fire and is not a proper tattoo.”

The commissioner however dismissed reports that 10 boys and girls were arrested for indecent dressing and donning dreadlocks. This follows reports in the media that 10 teenagers were arrested by police on her directives for being idle and disorderly, indecent dressing, and having dreadlocks.

“In my county, no people have been arrested for indecent dressing,” she explained. “The issue is that there was a rascal who went on mobilizing children under the age of 16 to tattoo themselves.”

Commissioner Fozia clarified that those who were arrested are the girls and boys who tattooed themselves but said that they were later released after being cautioned to desist from the practice.

She however said through the efforts of her administration, the church in the county was able to talk to the children and advise them to shun negative practices.
