The Chairperson of National Dialogue committee for Western Bahr El-Ghazal region decided to resign from the position.
According to Voice of Hope Radio, Joseph Ukel withdrew from the committee because his position was given to another person and when he asked he was told that he is an IO (In Opposition) and is against the Dinka.
Joseph Ukel claims that he had been chairperson of western Bahr el Ghazal for fifteen days until his resignation.
The Co-Chair of National Dialogue Angelo Beda denies that Joseph Ukel had never been the Chairperson of Western Bahr El Ghazal committee, but it was Adil Atanasio Surur.
He adds that when Adil Atanasio fell sick he was replaced by Luciano but when Luciano was selected as the commissioner he was replaced by Dr. Bol Deng but due to state policies they kept Luciano.
Voice of Hope Radio could not reach Atanasio and Luciano for comments.
