Deng Alor Kuol

Deng Alor Kuol (Arabic: دينق ألور‎) is a South Sudanese politician. He is a member of the Dinka ethnic group, and was born in Abyei region; an oil-producing border region between Northern and Southern Sudan.

In October 2007, Alor was appointed foreign minister of the Republic of Sudan, replacing fellow Southern Sudanese politician Lam Akol, in what was seen as an attempt to appease the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement. Alor had previously been Minister of Cabinet Affairs,[1] being appointed to that position on 10 July 2011.[2]
