<p><strong>Author: Emmanuel Bida</strong></p>



<p>Uganda&#8217;s government institution has misfired Sudanese politician Malik Agar as a South Sudanese and a Vice President as well, according to online information found by 211 Check on Wednesday.</p>



<p><br>A tweet by Government of Uganda @GovUganda on Tuesday, 11th May 2021 claimed in a misleading post that Malik Agar is a Vice President in the Republic of South Sudan.</p>

</div></figure>



<p><strong>What is the truth?</strong></p>



<p>Malik Agar is neither a South Sudanese nor a Vice President. Malik leads a faction of the Sudan People&#8217;s Liberation Movement &#8211; North (SPLM &#8211; North).&nbsp;</p>



<p>Reliable sources and facts say Malik Agar is a member of the Sudanese Transitional Sovereign Council. He is in Uganda to witness the swearing in of President Yoweri Museveni on behalf of Sudan Sovereign Council.</p>



<p><strong>Who are the Vice Presidents in South Sudan?</strong></p>



<p>South Sudan has five Vice Presidents namely: First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny, Vice President for Economic Cluster &#8211; James Wani Igga, Vice President for Infrastructure Cluster &#8211; Taban Deng Gai, Vice President for Service Cluster Hussein Abdelbagi and Vice President for Youth, Gender and Humanitarian Cluster Rebecca Nyandeng.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Please disregard the information tweeted by @GovUganda, it is misleading and doesn&#8217;t reflect any of the described personality in relationship to his position and country of origin.</p>
