Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s President Salva Kiir on Monday evening fired the deputy minister of public service who is a senior member of the South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA), Radio Tamazuj reports.<\/p>\n

Deputy Minister Gen. Khalid Botrous Bora \u2013 who held the position for more than two years \u2013 was sacked in a decree read out on state media. No reasons were given for firing him.<\/p>\n

His removal comes after President Kiir, First Vice President Riek Machar and SSOA leaders agreed on the unification of the armed forces\u2019 command as stipulated in the 2018 peace agreement.<\/p>\n

In another decree, President Kiir replaced Khalid Botrous with Gen. Julius Tabuley Daniel, who is also a senior member of SSOA. Both Khalid and Tabley are belonging the National Salvation Front (NAS) faction, which is an organization within the South Sudan Opposition Alliance.<\/p>\n

In early April, the parties to the peace agreement signed a security deal in Juba that sets out terms of integrating SPLA-IO and SSOA commanders into government forces.<\/p>\n

Under the deal, President Kiir\u2019s faction got a 60% representation in key leadership positions in the military, police, national security, wildlife and prisons. Riek Machar\u2019s SPLA-IO and SSOA took the remaining 40%. Gen. Khalid Butrous signed the agreement on behalf of SSOA.<\/p>\n
