JUBA – South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir Mayardit was wrong and unethical when he removed Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Beatrice Khamisa Wani while on a diplomatic mission to the Arab Republic of Egypt, former minister of higher education Adwok Nyaba has said.

Kiir in a Republican Decree readout on the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) on Thursday removed Mrs. Khamisa while on a diplomatic mission to Egypt, replacing him with Mayiik Ayii Deng, the former presidential affairs minister who was fired in 2020 following a scandal surrounding the Juba-Bahr el Ghazal highway construction.

Khamisa was appointed in March last year following the formation of the Reconstituted Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGONU) provided for in the revitalized peace agreement which witnessed the appointment of several opposition officials representing several signatories of the revitalized peace agreement into the government.

However, Nyaba who is a staunch critic of President Salva Kiir, said President Salva Kiir Mayardit was wrong to remove Khamisa, who was the second female South Sudanese politician to serve the position, suggesting that he could have waited until Khamisa return from Egypt where she is on an official visit.

“Yes, its president’s prerogative to appoint or disappoint. It was wrong and unethical to disappoint the minister of Foreign Affairs while on official duty in Cairo. The announcement could have waited until she came back to Juba,” Nyaba who was also a member of the SPLM-IO led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny, wrote on Facebook.

The dismissal of Khamisa has also been criticized by activists as a violating of the 2018 peace agreement because the replacement was not a woman. The peace deal provides for the allocation of 35% of positions at all levels of government to women, something which has not been respected by the SPLM and some other signatories to the agreement.

    “Kiir was ‘unethical’ for removing foreign minister while on visit to Egypt – Adwok Nyaba”

    Foreign ministers are removed, by their employers. who was that damned so-called foreign minister in the first place? She was nothing, more less like Ms. Rebecca Nyandeng. Mr. Aduok Nyabe, is-not anyone. Egypt is our country, the Muonyjaangs/Jaangs/Jenges/Dinkas and the Coptic people. Follows us again low lives and get away with it you really damn can. But for all I care, look for a place to hide. Take your rubbish away from South Africa, Kenya, here in South Sudan (you have nothing here in South Sudan, only UN and your sleazy NGOs, they thought, they would be welcomed here into South Sudan and over South Sudanese people by intrigues. Abesh (so-called ethiopia) prostitutes, are not our equals, we are bomb them to near extinction/oblivion.>>>

    Tigray (Tigrinya) prostitute are not welcomed into our country and over our people again ever ever again, reasoner, pure HATRED and RACISM. Where is their Mr. Abiy Ahmed, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama? They are all dead. Bole international airport will be parking lot, Djibouti, French legions, the US army would be bombed back to *Yemen and Saudi Arabia*, Saudi Arabia King Farhad international airport at *Medina or Mecca* would parking lots, Jomo Kenyatta International airport, would be a parking lots, Tel Aviv International airport and Eastern Jerusalem would be patting lots, reasons, pure HATREd and RACISM>>>>>
