South Sudan's President Salva Kiir has dismissed Foreign Minister Ramadan Mohamed and appointed his deputy, Monday Simaya Kumba, as the new foreign minister. The move comes amid growing tensions between South Sudan and the United States, reportedly linked to a dispute over migration issues. The government has not provided an official reason for the dismissal. This reshuffle follows other signs of political instability, including the arrest and replacement of a key opposition leader. The developments highlight increasing internal and external pressures on South Sudan's fragile political landscape.
