Opinion: Dr. John Gai Yoh: The Ideal Choice for the Top Diplomat Position in the Country

Dr. John Gai Yoh:
Giving His Opinion



Top Trending News Today:






A few weeks ago, His Excellency President Salva Kiir Mayardit relieved Hon. Mayiik Ayii Deng of his duties as Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Deputy Minister Hon. Deng Dau was directed as Acting Minister while the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) searches for a suitable replacement. As the Chairman of SPLM conducts his search, I strongly recommend Dr. John Gai Yoh to be appointed as the new Minister of Foreign Affairs.


As our country moves towards peace and elections, we must equally improve our relationships with nations of significance to us. To achieve this goal, we need a new top diplomat who comprehends the intricacies of geopolitics and geoeconomics. In my opinion, Dr. Yoh is one of the most capable candidates for this role.


Dr. John Gai Yoh possesses the necessary qualifications and experience to effectively execute this vital position. From 2013 to 2016, he served as both Minister of General Education and Minister of Higher Education, a period in which our educational system was greatly improved, from the prevention of National Examination malpractice to the improvement of various government universities. For example, Professor John Akech, who later improved the University of Juba greatly, was appointed by him as a result of his recommendation. 


Additionally, he was a Presidential Advisor to H.E. President Salva Kiir. Dr. John Gai Yoh is also a distinguished figure in the field of geopolitics, having previously served as an ambassador to Turkey and taught as a professor at various foreign universities. These experiences have fostered his knowledge and understanding of international relations. 


Furthermore and more importantly, Dr. John Gai Yoh is a loyal and dedicated member of the SPLM. He has shown a deep commitment to the President's agenda and policies and would work collaboratively with H.E. the President to achieve the goals of the SPLM and our nation.


In terms of education, Dr. John Gai Yoh is well-educated. He obtained Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the American University in Beirut, as well as a Ph.D. in International Politics from the University of South Africa. Dr. Yoh’s appointment would ensure that South Sudan's foreign policy is guided by a seasoned diplomat. Thus, it is my hope that His Excellency President Salva Kiir Mayardit will consider him for this critical position
