Oil-producing South Sudan appointed its second director for state-owned Nile Petroleum Corp. in about six months, tasking him with solving fuel shortages that have left pumps dry at gas stations across the capital. Machar Aciek Ader replaces Joseph Cleto Deng, who only took up the position in May, presidential spokesman Ateny Wek Ateny said Thursday by phone from Juba. Deng was fired by President Salva Kiir on Nov. 1 because of his failure to tackle the fuel crisis, Ateny said.
