Teen injured in sword attack at Brandon high school
BRANDON — A 16-year-old male was taken into custody in relation to a sword attack at Neelin High School Tuesday afternoon that prompted a lockdown of the building. A 15-year-old male student was rushed to the Brandon Regional Health Centre in serious condition after suffering injuries to his chest, forearms, hands and thighs, police said. He was later upgraded to stable condition. Brandon Police Service Insp. Jason Dupuis said the victim's 'injuries were significant and serious.'

'I saw him chasing one of our students with a sword, then I ran to class,' said Fathia, who didn't want to give her last name. 'I was just scared, that's all,' she said through tears while standing next to her mom, who had picked her up from the school. Another student described what happened after the attack started. 'All I know is all of a sudden, doors were slamming and we got told to sit in the corner and our teacher directed us to turn the lights off, sit in the corner and pretty much be quiet,' said Jordan-Blayne Bjornsson. 'We were definitely all scared, 'cause we didn't know exactly what was happening,' the Grade 12 student said. 'None of us felt very good and I know there were a lot of people crying.'

South Sudan make wholesale changes for 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers
South Sudan have made wholesale adjustments to their squad for this month's FIFA World Cup qualifiers with 22 changes introduced for their Group B clashes against DR Congo and Sudan. Coach Nicolas Dupuis has dropped 16 players from the squad that completed the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers last November with a 3-2 home win over Congo, followed by a 3-0 defeat in South Africa. The coach has selected significantly more locally-based players, saying more talent had come to the fore since the establishment of the South Sudan Premier League, which has enhanced the development of homegrown players. Dupuis added that a solid foundation of locally based players is crucial for building a stronger team. South Sudan have drawn two and lost two of their opening four qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in North America and have two difficult away games this month, in Kinshasa on March 21 and the meeting neighbours Sudan in Benghazi, Libya four days later. From the starting line-up beaten in Cape Town by South Africa in November, Benjamin Laku and Ebon Malish, who scored twice against Congo the same month, drop out. Squad: Goalkeepers: Isaac Bida (Lion Hunters), Majak Mawith (Jamus), Godwill Yugusak (Kator) Defenders: Thomas Atir (Al Merreikh Juba), Daniel Bichiok (Nairobi United, Kenya) Isaac Friday (Lion Hunters), Rashid Okocha (National Enterprise Corporation, Uganda), Paul Pal (Al Merreikh Juba), Atiki Rahuman (Calvery), Samuel Taban, Ivan Wani (both Jamus) Midfielders: Peter Chan (Olympic), Samuel Dok (Holy Family), William Gama (Malakia), John Juluk (Holy Family), Joseph Malish Manase (Jamus), Victor Nelson (Al Merreikh Juba), Mario Taban (Jamus) Forwards: Nhiak Agany (Holy Family), Paul America (Fleury 91, France), Pap Chol (Kator), Geng Dut (Wajuma), Yuel Kuach (Al Morooj, Libya), Peter Lazarus (Future Stars Academy), Tito Luk Ciir (Jamus), Angufi Mudasiri (Koryom), Fodul Nasardin (Al Hilal), Tito Okella (Abdelashhar, Libya), Yohanna Paulino (Jamus), David Sebit (Kator), Abraham Thuo (Holy Family).
