SOUTH SUDAN’S PRESIDENT SACKS TWO KEY OFFICIALS, SPY CHIEF

South Sudanese President Salva Kiir has sacked two vice presidents, James Wani Igga and Hussein Abdelbagi Akol, in the latest reshuffle in the unity government.

In a presidential decree broadcast,  Kiir also dismissed the head of the Internal Security Bureau of the National Security Service, Akech Tong Aleu.

 The country has been formally at peace since a 2018 deal ended a five-year civil war in which hundreds of thousands of people died.
