Nhial Deng Nhial’s family evicted from government house in Juba
The family of veteran politician and long-serving SPLM Political Bureau member, Nhial Deng Nhial, has reportedly been evicted from a government residence in the Amarat Residential Area of Juba, a reliable source has disclosed.
According to the source, the eviction took place while Nhial Deng Nhial was away in Nairobi, leaving his family stranded and distressed. The circumstances surrounding the decision remain unclear, and it is not yet known whether President Salva Kiir Mayardit is aware of the incident.
Nhial Deng Nhial, son of the late prominent politician William Deng Nhial, is a respected statesman and one of South Sudan’s most experienced negotiators. He played a key role in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that paved the way for South Sudan’s independence in 2011. Nhial has also been a lead negotiator in successive peace talks between the government and the SPLM-IO, including the current peace agreement.
The sudden eviction of his family has raised questions within political circles, given Nhial’s long-standing contribution to the nation and his stature as a veteran SPLM figure.
