‎ ‎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...
