South Sudan: Barnaba appointed as foreign minister

President Salva Kiir made the first appointment of his new cabinet today, four days after dismissing all of his ministers, making Barnaba Marial Benjamin the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

Marial, who was serving as Minister of Information and Broadcasting and the official government spokesman, already held the equivalent post in the pre-independence government as Minister of Regional Cooperation.
