JUBA, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- South Sudanese President Salva Kiir on Monday evening sacked Chief of Defense Forces of the South Sudan People's Defense Forces Santino Deng Wol and replaced him with Paul Nang Majok.
In a presidential decree issued in Juba, the capital of South Sudan, Kiir also dismissed Governor of the Bank of South Sudan James Alic Garang, replacing him with Johnny Ohisa, who previously headed the central bank.
The Presidency did not provide more details for the changes.
Moreover, Kiir also dismissed Atak Santino Majak, undersecretary of the Ministry of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Abraham Peter Manyuat replaced Atem Marol Biar as inspector general of police after the president relieved the latter of his duties.
