Salva Kiir
Salva Kiir es el actual presidente de Sudán del Sur, habiendo asumido el cargo desde la independencia del país en 2011. Su liderazgo ha estado marcado por la lucha interna y la inestabilidad, incluyendo una guerra civil que ha causado millones de desplazados y numerosas víctimas. A pesar de un acuerdo de paz en 2015, las tensiones entre su administración y los grupos opositores, incluido el liderazgo de Riek Machar, han persistido, complicando aún más la situación política y social en Sudán del Sur.
