Counsel Sarah Dr. Nyot the wife of former Vice President for Economic Cluster, Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel, wrote to H.E. Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit on date January 29, 2026 her birthday pleading with the President for the release of her beloved husband.
When I said in many of my previous posts that Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel sees H.E. Gen. Salva Kiir Mayardit as a father figure, this is what I meant in the letter.
Sometimes, the person who raises you politically, guides you, gives you opportunities, and helps shape your journey is not far from being a father in your life. Political mentorship can create a bond that goes beyond positions and titles and Kiir is the one.
That is why I believe the relationship between Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel and President Salva Kiir Mayardit should be understood not only through the lens of politics, but also through the lens of loyalty, mentorship, and a deeply personal bond.
