“President Salva Kiir himself has promoted Vice President for the Economic Cluster, Dr. Benjamin Bol from the rank of Lieutenant General to General in the Internal Security Bureau of the National Security Service (ISB/NSS)” (South Sudan Global, 16.09.2025).
The anointed one, the one successor and the next in line, VP Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel have gotten another promotion. Now a full-fledged General and Military Commander. That’s the latest news.
That’s a further proof that the VP is the one who is built and prepared to takeover from President Salva Kiir Mayardit. This is preparing him for the takeover and becoming the next to rule. That’s what J-1 wants and how it is moving. That is just showing what they want to achieve. The VP is just the future and we are for the ride.
This is happening as this is reported about him:
“UN investigators accuse South Sudanese authorities of plundering their country’s wealth, including by paying 1.7 billion U.S. dollars to companies affiliated with Vice President Benjamin Bol Mel for road construction work that was never done” (CGTN Africa, 16.09.2025).
So, the shady and questionable acts of “Al-Cardinal” haven’t stopped after his gotten more influential. Instead, he has enlarged his empire and enriching himself on the public coffers. No one is shocked by this, but this is so blatant. As his spreading message of development, creating a better future, but becoming wealthy himself in office.
We are seeing someone who is becoming the next up. His the one who is forged to takeover. The VP is getting the space and the abilities to run after Kiir. That’s why his so swiftly getting such vast power and titles. This because J-1 and the President wants the Republic ready for Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel. That’s what we see, and we are just supposed to accept it.
This is hereditary politics at its finest. The lineage and the power of family. Nepotism and such are just so embedded in the system. The President and the VP is just showing it. They are not even trying to conceal it either. This is done in the open and we are just supposed to cheer it on.
It doesn’t matter if his a corrupt fella, that his easily negotiable or able to misuse his office. No, his the next one, because Kiir and his inner circle has handpicked him. That’s what we are seeing here. This is the only reason for him becoming a General. It is a sign, and we can read the tea leaves.
The whole rise of Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel is just buying time and mentally get people in line to accept him as the next one. That’s all that matters, and we can all see it coming. It is obvious and it’s done for everyone to see. Peace.
