September 15, 2017 (JUBA) – An official from the Centre for Peace and
Justice (CPJ) has urged South Sudan President Salva Kiir not to
prevent ex-army chief of staff, Paul Malong from burying his daughter
in Northern Bahr el Ghazal state.

CPJ’s coordinator, Tito Anthony said it was a difficult moment for
Malong, whose daughter, Alakiir Malong, died in an inferno at Moi
secondary school in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, last week.
"Gen. Malong should be given rights as a father and this is the
hardest time for him, where President Salva needs to stand with him
instead of betraying him,” said Tito in a statement issued on Sunday.
"There no need to deny him from traveling for burial, instead
President Kiir should comfort him in time of sorrow as his brother and
colleague in the government", he added.
The official dismissed fears that Awan was capable of joining
rebellion or forms a rebel group if allowed to travel out of Juba.
Tito, however, said the ex-army chief should be given protection
forces to the burial place in case the government still doubted him.
"If the President wants Gen. Malong under house arrest, then he can
order the security to travel with him to Aweil and bring him back to
Juba where he is under house arrest,” stressed the CPJ coordinator.
In May, Kiir fired Awan and replaced him with Gen. James Ajongo Mawut.

Malong betrayed himself, he served and people appreciated for
his commitment, why he moved out of Juba at night with arms, when he
heard the news. if he was a real man he would handed over the office
and than stay like Hoth Mai and the rest. something is fishy

It is just lack of humanity and compassion that has come to play
in this. Above all Paul Malong killed innocent South Sudanese due to
lack of the same reasons. Our womenfolk are frequently raped and so is
the country by people who have no feeling of humanity and compassion.
The same situation has now come to their door ways. Many of us have
people killed by them and their bodies are not found.
