Kiir Dismisses Presidential Special Envoy and Petroleum Ministry Undersecretary in Major Reshuffle.
President Salva Kiir Mayardiit. President Salva Kiir Mayardiit today dismisses Presidential Special Envoy and Petroleum Ministry Undersecretary in Major Reshuffle. President Kiir today issued a series of decrees that resulted in the removal of several high-ranking officials from their positions. Among those relieved of their duties were the Presidential Special Envoy, Ambassador Albino Mathom Ayuel, and Dr. Chol Thon Abel, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Petroleum. These changes come as part of broader political and administrative adjustments, though the reasons for the dismissals have not been officially detailed in the decree. Such moves are not uncommon in South Sudan's dynamic political landscape, where leadership changes can be influenced by both internal and external factors. The President did not explain as to why he decided to sack the high ranking officials in the government.
