President Kiir Mayardit said he 'regretted saving their lives' of the former detainees in a speech during the funeral of the former head of army James Ajongo Mawut


“But when I watched television after I released them on the same day, I saw them being received on the red carpet by that country and they started talking politics after leaving Juba, so that’s why I regretted for saving their lives,” Kiir said.
