South Sudan’s President, Salva Kiir on Wednesday sacked Foreign Affairs minister, Mayiik Ayii Deng.
His removal comes barely a week after Kiir fired the Defence minister Angelina Teny and Interior minister Mahmoud Solomon through a presidential directive.
The president failed to give reasons for Deng’s removal.
In a decree announced on the state-owned television (SSBC), Kiir assigned the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Deng Dau Deng to act as the new minister.
Mayiik, a former Presidential Affairs minister, became Foreign minister in 2021.
