From Sudan-The most senior religious leaders in South Sudan have asked president Salva Kiir, to clarify to them the delegated powers he withdrew from the vice president, Riek Machar, as rumors of a looming crisis in the presidency continues.
The surprise move announced in a formal decree by Kiir thus month has created tension and uncertainty at the centre of the south-ruling party (SPLM) government, which officials tried to dispel today after a stunned reaction among the South Sudanese public.
The spiritual leaders' delegation, led by the archbishop of the Catholic Church, His Lordship Paulino Lukudu Loro, held a closed door meeting with the president and his deputy on Thursday at the State House.
The delegation of the church leaders from the various denominations of Christian faith in South Sudan also included archbishop of the Episcopal Church, Daniel Deng Bul, who was recently appointed by the president to head the national reconciliation process and the moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, Peter Gai Lual, among others.
