Mr. Lam, a freelancer who reports for Sky News Arabia, studied Photography at the University of Khartoum and worked for various news organizations.
Lam takes over a position that was served by James Gatdet Dak for nearly two decades.
Dak was deputized by Cde. Nyarji Jermlili Roman and it is yet to be confirmed if Roman will continue to serve as a deputy Press Secretary or would be promoted to a different portfolio.
Dr. Machar is reshuffling his leadership while he waits in South Africa for possible resuscitation of South Sudan Peace Process by the Africa Union and TROIKA.
Within the last two months, Machar has made over 40 appointments into old positions and new frontiers in South Sudan and Diaspora.

Riek Machar is the great perpetrator of S. Sudan, for he causes a death of thousands and thousands of the people of South Sudanese people.
Now the orphans of the 2013 are roaming in the markets all over the South Sudan ‘s towns and villages, thus then such a person what do the others Gov’ts of the world do with him?
