South Sudanese President Salva Kiir has suspended his entire cabinet and vice president in the largest reshuffle in the history of the two-year-old nation, the former information minister said on Tuesday. "President Kiir wants to make a major reshuffle, so from the vice president downwards, all national ministers and deputy ministers have been removed," said Barnaba Marial Benjamin, who until his suspension Tuesday was the information minister and government spokesman. Niall Paul, editor of Citizen Newspaper said that Kiir's decision was predicted a month ago, adding in a statement to Arab Today by phone from Juba, that reasons behind this decision are internal differences in the government and the involvement of SPLM, the ruling party in South Sudan. He also said that Kiir could not fight corruption in his government, ruling out that the decision was based on disputes with Khartoum.
