Former South Sudan chief of general staff Paul Malong has been released after five months of house arrest but he is under close watch lest he start another rebellion.
President Salva Kiir gave the release order last week on Thursday evening, after Gen Malong, who has been under restrictions since his dismissal in May, wrote a letter to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (Unmiss), complaining about threats to his life and seeking refuge in the camps.
