JUBA – South Sudan’s First Vice President, Dr. Riek Machar Teny, has announced in a statement this morning that the Upper Nile state conference that the presidency announced last week will commence on Wednesday through Saturday this week.

“On December 9, 2020, the Presidency held its fourth meeting in which it decided to declare the formation of nine (9) states and local governments except the government of Upper Nile state and its counties.
