And who comes after?

South Sudan's army chief of staff, who had been proposed for UN sanctions and accused of directing last year's fighting in the capital that left hundreds dead, has been removed from his post, a presidential spokesperson said on Tuesday.  Paul Malong's removal comes after months of government infighting and as ethnic violence in the country's civil war has dramatically increased. Malong has long been considered a hardliner in the government of President Salva Kiir, and diplomats repeatedly have accused him of undermining the country's 2015 peace agreement.  News 24
