JUBA, South Sudan, Nov. 26, 2024 — South Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has revoked the appointment of its deputy ambassador to Kenya, Barnaba Bol Nyuol, and ordered his immediate recall to Juba, according to a statement obtained by The Juba Mirror News.
The ministry cited the recall in an official communication dated Nov. 22, 2024, but did not specify the reasons for the decision. The statement directed the South Sudanese Embassy in Kenya to disregard a prior ministry letter regarding Nyuol’s redeployment, referencing document RF:RSS/MFA1CIJ3/11/24/018 dated Nov. 19, 2024.
The ministry emphasized that Ambassador Nyuol is to return to headquarters “with immediate effect,” underscoring a change in his diplomatic assignment. No further details were provided about his future role or replacement at the embassy in Nairobi.
This move reflects the ministry’s commitment to managing its diplomatic affairs, but the lack of clarity regarding the reasons for the recall has prompted questions within diplomatic circles.
