South Sudan’s president fired Vice President Benjamin Bol Mel and top officials on Nov. 12, 2025, in a sudden move with no explanation.
South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir dismissed Vice President Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel and several top officials on November 12, 2025, in a sudden political shake-up.
Bol Mel was removed from his vice presidency, SPLM leadership, and military rank, demoted from general to private, and had his security detail withdrawn.
The dismissals, which included the central bank governor and revenue authority head, occurred without explanation.
Bol Mel had recently been elevated to key roles, fueling speculation he was being positioned as a successor, especially after First Vice President Riek Machar was charged with treason.
The government has not named replacements or provided reasons for the moves, heightening concerns over instability in the oil-dependent nation.
