James Gatdet Dak Lampuar September 20, 2025 Salva Kiir on Monday, September 22, 2025, will make sure that all local, regional and international media outlets are invited to mockingly cover arraignment and parading of H.E. Dr. Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon, in the kangaroo court in Juba, and the reading of all the politically motivated and fabricated charges against him. This will make Salva Kiir's hateful heart happy, at least temporarily.  But, the Dr. Riek Machar I know will instead pity Salva Kiir, and those who ill-advised Kiir,  for destroying the 'last' peace agreement between them in the country. The arraignment in the court will also include the 7 other political detainees from Dr. Riek Machar's SPLM-IO Party, namely Cde Puot Kang Chuol, Cde Gabriel Duop Lam, Cde Gatwech Lam Puoch, Cde Camilo Gatmai Kel, Cde Mam Pal Dhuor, Cde Mading Riek Yak, and Cde Dominic Gatgok Riek. Kiir will not however allow the media to cover the responses of the defense team and the rebutal...

Akobo Commissioner Rejects Suspension, Accuses Jonglei Governor of Political Targeting

Puok Nyang Tutjiek, the Commissioner of Akobo County in Jonglei State


‎Tensions have flared in Jonglei State after the Commissioner of Akobo County, Puok Nyang Tutjiek, rejected his suspension issued by Governor Dr. Riek Gai Kok, calling it a politically motivated move aimed at silencing his support for SPLM-IO leader Dr. Riek Machar.

‎

‎Tutjiek, a senior SPLM-IO official, was suspended over the weekend following accusations by the governor that he violated administrative procedures by traveling to neighboring Ethiopia without official clearance and for publicly demanding Machar’s release from house arrest.

‎

‎In a strong response, Commissioner Tutjiek insisted that his trip had been approved by the former deputy governor and defended his right to call for the release of his party chairman. “Dr. Riek Machar is my leader. I have the right to speak up for him,” he said.

‎

‎He further questioned the legality of the suspension, saying the governor lacked the authority to remove him without due process and consultation with SPLM-IO leadership. “This is a clear attempt to intimidate us politically. It will not work,” Tutjiek declared.

‎

‎The move has drawn concern from civil society. Ter Manyang Gatwech, a prominent activist, warned that the suspension could worsen tensions in Jonglei and provoke unrest among the Lou Nuer community, which has remained a stronghold of the SPLM-IO since the outbreak of the 2013 conflict.

‎

‎This unfolding dispute highlights the fragile state of South Sudan’s unity government. While formed in 2020 under the revitalized peace agreement, many critical provisions including the integration of forces and preparations for elections remain stalled. The political standoff between the SPLM and SPLM-IO continues to challenge the peace process.

‎

‎As the situation develops, eyes remain on whether national leadership will intervene to resolve the political dispute and prevent further instability in Jonglei.
