JUBA – South Sudan’s First Vice President and main armed opposition leader Dr. Riek Machar Teny has ordered opposition military governors and commissioners to step down and hand over power to recently appointed officials.

In an order dated March 1, 2021 seen by Sudans Post, Machar says former officials and the SPLA-IO military would take care of security where appointed government officials have not yet arrived.

“Reference my message 001/7/2020 dated 23rd February 2020, and 002/7/2020 23rd February 2020, now that governors, deputy governors and commissioners of the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGONU) have been appointed, all former SPLM/SPLA (IO) caretaker governors, deputy governors and commissioners of SPLM/SPLA (IO) are hereby ordered to step down and hand over to senior civil servants in the areas and executive directors in the counties,” Machar said in the directive.
