Africa Live: Kenya Airways protests over staff held in DR Congo - BBC News | |

BBC News, Juba | |
South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir has sacked his foreign affairs minister who had been in office for less than a year. | |
James Pitia Morgan, who was appointed last August, was dismissed in a presidential decree read out on state television on Thursday night. | |
Before becoming foreign affairs minister, Mr Morgan was South Sudan’s ambassador to Ethiopia. | |
He has now been replaced by his former deputy, Ramadan Abdallah Goch. | |
President Kiir appointed Mr Morgan as his envoy for the Great Lakes region. | |
Mr Kiir also dismissed Mayen Wol Dut, the long-serving undersecretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and appointed him as South Sudan’s new ambassador to China. | |
There were no reasons given for the latest reshuffle. | |
Observers say it could be a political tactic for Mr Kiir ahead of elections, scheduled for December. | |
Mr Goch is the first Muslim to head the foreign ministry. | |
