Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Dismisses Baseless Rumors Regarding the Health of H.E. President Salva Kiir Mayardit
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of South Sudan categorically and strongly denies the false and malicious reports circulating on social media claiming that His Excellency President Salva Kiir Mayardit has passed away.
The Ministry would like to assure the South Sudanese public, the region and the international community that H.E. President Salva Kiir Mayardit is alive, well and fully engaging in the service of the nation. He continues to carry out his presidential duties with vigor, commitment, sound health and complete fitness.
The Ministry condemns in the strongest terms this deliberate spread of misinformation aimed at creating unnecessary panic, confusion, and instability. Such fake news only serves the interests of those who wish to undermine our nation's sovereignty, hard-won peace and progress.
These are entirely baseless and irresponsible rumors fabricated by enemies of peace, development, nation building and stability in South Sudan.
We call on the public to disregard these rumors and refrain from sharing unverified information.
South Sudan remains stable and the Government is committed to advancing the welfare of the people and implementing its national duties ordinarily and as expected.
