CEPO welcomes Kiir’s amnesty, urges release of UN journalist JUBA (10 Mar.) The leader of the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO), Edmund Yakani, has welcomed President Kiir’s decision releasing the former governor of Wau and other political detainees in South Sudan. However, he urged President to pardon the UN Radio Miraya journalist George Livio Bahara. Speaking to Radio Tamazuj today, Yakani said the move demonstrates steps for peaceful settlement on the current political crisis in the country. He pointed out that the decision is a clear message from the President that violence will not solve the ongoing conflict in the country. “We are impressed because H.E. President has responded positively to our calls for a long period of time for the release of political detainees and opening of a new chapter for a nonviolent approach for settling our ongoing violent conflict,” he said “Pardoning political detainees is a great action for peace and call for a nonviolent approach for resolving our political difference,” he added. The leading civil society organization urged all armed opposition groups to join the call for a non-violent approach for the sake of peace and stability in South Sudan. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
