In an unpredicted move, President Salva Kiir Mayardit has revoked the appointment of Gen. Akol Koor Kuc as the governor of Warrap State.
This comes hours after Gen. Akol returned to Juba from the United Arab Emirates. No reasons were given for the surprising withdrawal.
In a separate decree, read over the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Cooperation (SSBC), President Kiir appointed Francis Marial Abur as the replacement.
Gen. Akol was appointed governor of Warrap State last week, after being removed as the Director General of the Internal Security Bureau of the National Security Service, a position he served since 2013.
