The firing of Angelina Teny came as a surprise to many, as she had only been in the role for a few months. Her appointment had been seen as a step towards greater inclusivity in the government, as she is the wife of Riek Machar, a key opposition leader.


Days after the firing of Teny, Machar accused the President of violating the Revitalise Peace Agreement and of not consulting SPLM-IO leadership.
