Machar reshuffles SPLM-IO national committee chairpersons

JUBA – South Sudan’s First Vice President and leader of the main armed opposition Sudan People’s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO), Dr. Riek Machar Teny, has reconstituted leadership of the group’s national committee.

This comes many months after several SPLM-IO committee chairpersons, as well as deputy chairman of the SPLM-IO, decided to defect from the group and joined rival Kiir’s SPLM in Government or form their own groups.

Below is the order by Machar reconstituting national committee chairpersons.
