July 2, 2015 (NAIROBI) – South Sudan’s former vice president, Riek
Machar, and leader of the armed opposition faction of the ruling SPLM,
has appointed a senior official of the ethnic Shilluk-based forces in
the oil-rich Upper Nile state as governor of Fashoda state, home to
Shilluk kingdom, and one of the 21 newly created federal states.
Jukino Fidel Nyikayo, was appointed on Thursday, with effect from 2
July, a day after he signed a merger declaration with the rebel
faction.
“Pursuant to 6-12 December 2014 Pagak conference resolutions, I, Dr.
Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon, Chairman and Commander-in-Chief of
SPLM/SPLA, hereby appoint Cde Jukino Fidel Nyikayo as Governor of
Fashoda State,” reads the order extended to Sudan Tribune.
Nyikayo led the delegation sent to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, by
their leader, Major General Johnson Olony, who gave them full mandate
to negotiate the agreement and probably recommended him for the
appointment.
On 1 July the two groups merged by signing the declaration under the
Sudan Peoples’ Liberation Movement (SPLM-IO) led by Machar.
General Olony whose forces have been in full control of the state
capital, Malakal, since Saturday when they flushed out government
troops from the area, defected in April from the government.
Another order by the rebel leadership relieved their previously
appointed governor of the area,, Tijwok Hadhir Aguet, also former
presidential advisor on religious affairs, and from the Shilluk
community.
