Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A meeting between President Salva Kiir Mayardit and his First Vice President Riek Machar Teny scheduled for Monday has been postponed to Thursday, an official confirmed.<\/p>\n

The two principals were expected to discuss President Kiir’s dismissal of the Minister of Defense and Veteran Affairs Angelina Teny, a member of Machar’s SPLM-IO party, and the swapping of the two dockets between the two peace partners.<\/p>\n

Puok Both Baluang, SPLM-IO’s press secretary, told Radio Tamazuj Monday evening that the meeting was delayed following a request from the president.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meeting has been adjourned until Thursday based on the request of the President,\u201d said Baluang.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the press secretary in the office of the President, Lily Adhieu Martin Manyiel, said the meeting did not take place today as it had not been officially scheduled.<\/p>\n

“There is no meeting that has taken place because there was no any official communication from the office of the President,\u201d said Athieng.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the necessary information will be communicated to the media in due time. So, you better wait to hear from us officially,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

On Friday evening, President Kiir fired Defense and Interior ministers in a move that goes against the terms of a peace agreement signed with opposition party leader and First Vice President Riek Machar.<\/p>\n

Kiir also swapped the defense ministry set for Machar’s party to his party and handed Machar the interior ministry.<\/p>\n

However, on Saturday, the SPLM-IO Political Bureau held an extraordinary meeting in Juba, accusing Kiir of violating the terms of the agreement by firing the defense ministers and swapping the two ministries without consultations.<\/p>\n
