  ‎ Prof. Adwok ‎The internal rift within South Sudan’s main opposition party, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO), has taken a dramatic turn following the appointment of an interim leadership in the absence of detained leader Dr. Riek Machar.  ‎ ‎Prominent South Sudanese intellectual and former minister, Professor Peter Adwok Nyaba, has condemned the move, labeling it a “coup” against the peace agreement. ‎ ‎On April 9, senior SPLM-IO members in Juba installed Peacebuilding Minister Stephen Par Kuol as interim party leader. Losuba Ludoru Wongo was named deputy, and Agok Makur Kur was appointed interim secretary-general.  ‎ ‎The appointments came days after Machar was placed under house arrest on March 26, accused of inciting violence in Nasir County. ‎ ‎Speaking to the media, Prof. Adwok dismissed the leadership changes as illegal and externally orchestrated.  He warned that the move violated the 2018 Revitalized Agreement on the Resolutio...

‎ ‎President Salva Kiir has made a significant move in his administration by reshuffling key ministerial positions, bringing veteran opposition figure Dr. Lam Akol back into government and reassigning other prominent leaders. ‎ ‎In a presidential decree read on state television Tuesday night, Dr. Lam Akol was appointed as the new Minister of Transport, replacing Madut Biar Yel.  ‎ ‎In a surprising twist, Madut Biar Yel was not removed entirely but instead reassigned to lead the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology, a position previously held by Gabriel Changson Chang, who has now been relieved of his duties. ‎ ‎This reshuffle is being viewed by analysts as both a political recalibration and a strategic maneuver as the country prepares for its first general elections since independence, expected later this year. ‎ ‎A Comeback for Lam Akol ‎Dr. Lam Akol’s return to the cabinet is seen as highly symbolic. A seasoned politician and academic, Akol previously served as Mi...
