This episode of the Spark It Podcast dives deep into the shocking fall of Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel. In a rapid series of presidential decrees, President Salva Kiir Mayardit removed, relieved, demoted, and dismissed Bol Mel from every position of power: Vice President for the Economic Cluster, Deputy Chairman of the SPLM, National Security Service, and even his rank as a full military General. We explore why Bol Mel rose so quickly — and why his fall was even faster. We explore loyalty, political immaturity, corruption allegations, Kiir’s power consolidation, internal SPLM dynamics, and what this fallout means for South Sudan’s future, business climate, and stability. Tune in to understand what really happened — and what comes next.
