Eastern Equatoria State Governor Gen. Louis Lobong Lojore issued a decree suspending Kapoeta South County Commissioner Hon. Angelo Lominit Indefinitely. 

The suspended Commissioner Hails from the party ticket of South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) as per the revitalize peace agreement implemented five years ago. 

“In exercise of powers conferred upon me under Republican Decree No. 51/2020 as amended and considering article 99(2a) of the transitional constitution of Eastern Equatoria State, 2011, I Louis Lobong Lojore, Governor of Eastern Equatoria State, do hereby issue this executive order suspending Angello Lominit indefinitely from the position of the commissioner of Kapoeta South county with effect from 9 February 2023.” 

The decree did not indicate nor give any tangible reasons as to why the Kapoeta South County Commissioner was suspended.

On his part the suspended Commissioner while speaking to the media declined the suspension and said his (SSOA) part was not consulted. 

“You the people of the radio should put it in your mind this issue (suspension) will not go ahead, this peace will not go ahead like this. The decree which was made on the road without any reason cannot help at all,” he fumed. “I am not prepared for this information (suspension) and if they want to issue a decree (order), it is done at 8 pm. This decree of Lobong is useless because he went as far as issuing a decree at 3 am without even reporting to my party.” Lominit said. 

He further stated that: “I am from SSOA of Isaac Moro and the information did not reach my party members and the governor is supposed to call me and tell me the things I have done wrong.”

One SSOA member Mr. John Oturo said that no consultation was conducted between SSOA party and Governor Luis Lobong. 

“The agreement indeed allows the governor to consult the members of the party if a particular official is not doing well, then the party members will bring a letter to confirm the replacement,” he explained. “This is what every governor is supposed to do but not removal or suspension. The party sits and chooses or nominates a replacement and presents the name to the governor who then forwards it to the president for appointment.” John Oturo said. 

Louis Lobong Lojore is a South Sudanese Politician and a military governor in the rank of brigadier general in the South Sudan People's Defence Forces and the current governor of Eastern Equatoria State in South Sudan.

‎South Sudan’s Vice President Gen. Taban Deng Gai has assured citizens that the peace agreement signed in 2018 remains strong, despite the recent house arrest of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar.  ‎ ‎Speaking during a visit to Unity State on Saturday, Gai said Machar’s detention is a legal issue not a political move. ‎ ‎“The arrest of Dr. Riek Machar should not be seen as a threat to peace,” Gai told a gathering in Rubkona County. “He will go through legal proceedings, and the law will determine whether he has done anything wrong.” ‎ ‎President Salva Kiir ordered the house arrest of Machar in late March, accusing him of involvement in recent violence in Nasir County, Upper Nile State.  ‎ ‎The move has sparked concerns among Machar’s supporters and raised fears of renewed conflict in his home region. ‎ ‎VP Taban, who leads the Infrastructure Cluster in the unity government, is part of the power-sharing arrangement formed after the five-year civil war. His visit aimed to cal...

‎President Salva Kiir Mayardit has promoted Napoleon Adok Gai to the rank of Major General in South Sudan’s National Security Service (NSS), a move that reflects both his growing influence in national affairs and his dual legacy in the tech and security sectors. ‎ ‎From Child Soldier to National Figure ‎Napoleon Adok Gai's story is one of transformation. Born in Yirol County, he was conscripted as a child soldier during the war years.  ‎ ‎Like many young South Sudanese at the time, Gai’s early life was shaped by conflict. But after relocating to the UK, he pursued higher education and returned with degrees in software engineering, ICT, and project management. ‎ ‎His education would eventually position him to lead digital transformation efforts in South Sudan. ‎ ‎The Man Behind South Sudan’s Digital Awakening ‎Gai is best known to many South Sudanese as the Director General of the National Communication Authority (NCA). Since his appointment in 2020, he has pushed for major reforms ...
