Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Newly-appointed Warrap State Governor Gen Akol KoorKuc is expected to return to Juba on Wednesday following his removal as the head of Intelligence.<\/p>\n

According to a letter of invitation to the Warrap State community in Juba, seen by Radio Tamazuj, there were plans to welcome the new Governor at the Juba International Airport<\/p>\n

The letter dated October 7 called on the residents, government officials, community leaders, and other groups from Warrap to gather at the Juba International Airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Wednesday, he (Akol Koor) will be returning to Juba, and we urge the people to turn up at the airport,\u201d the Warrap State Community Coordinator, Kur Akol Malek, stated<\/p>\n

The letter encouraged a large turnout to mark the occasion, inviting national and state ministers, MPs, youth leaders, cultural groups, and media outlets to participate in the event.<\/p>\n

President Salva Kiir last week removed Koor from his long-held role as head of the National Security Service\u2019s Internal Security Bureau (ISB).<\/p>\n

Koor had led the country\u2019s most powerful and controversial security agency since South Sudan\u2019s independence in 2011.<\/p>\n

His tenure at the ISB was marked by allegations of human rights abuses, including reports of arbitrary detentions and mistreatment of detainees, which drew international criticism. His removal from the position was part of a broader security reshuffle that saw Gen Akec Tong Aleu take over the agency\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

Koor\u2019s new role as Governor of Warrap State comes with numerous challenges, given the region\u2019s history of political volatility and insecurity. \u200b<\/p>\n
