April 27, 2016(Nyamilepedia) —– To open a new page for the people of South Sudan, former governor of Western Equatoria state, Col. Joseph Bakosoro and his colleagues are finally released from arbitrary detention this evening.
Governor Bakosoro was arrested on Tuesday December 12 2015 by South Sudan national security for reasons related to his speeches between 2013 and 2015, however, he remained in prison without charges until his release today,
For nearly three months, his family, friends and colleagues were not allowed to visit him or shown where he was arrested until mid March this year.
According to reports released by amnesty international last months, more than 35 other politicians, University professors, foreigners and journalists have been in prisons in Juba for many months without charges.
South Sudan government is believed to have arrested many civilians, journalists and politicians, who oppose Salva Kiir government, within the last two years.
With the return of peace, however, it is believed that many prisoners will be released to show commitment to peace, unity, national healing and reconciliation of the South Sudanese people.

you are so stupid like beek, tolio, amin. No body is going to be silent until true reforms come to this country. Remember to tell you jenge council of awirin to keep their mouth closed not telling Bakasoro to keep quite. I think you are so behind the fact that your jenge will go to hague very soon when the accountability of JUBA MASSACRE take place.
Just be happy for nothing, the 63 tribes of South Sudan have decided not to be lead by people who are full of hatred, people who are full of corruption, land grabbing and so forth. Election is not far and you will remember my words. I have been telling all of you that Lado Gore and Dr. Machar will be back in Juba but many of you like beek, tolio and amen always said this will never happen. See now……………Shame on you jenge
You have delayed yourself for life until you become very aggressive. You can not insulted people you never met. Be very careful not to harm innocent people for no reason. Your Alfred Lado Gore is a minister in the government and a citizen of South Sudan, but not in my home. Your Lado and Machar are in the government and nothing to do with my life.
please don,t make meaning less statements , bakosoro himself need to answer for what he has done to public , to the country and to God , he is so weaked man who claimed life of innocent people in the Zande land , accusing other for his greed interest . you think what has he done even in his home land , he has left nothing in the state he made everything for himself , see how the state is ragging behind , so sure let him wait for his last judgement from God , Bakosoro the leader of all witches in the world , do you know what he did to became a Governour live my dear , ask his close friends and what happened where is his father? the next person is you for sure.
ha, Bakosoro should pay for what he has done , where is the public fund he has stolen telling people the opposite , he has made riches in a short while everywhere including china ,where did he get that money ? not state funds .
