South Sudanese man freed in Uganda after 22 years in prison

A South Sudanese national, Joseph Yen Magot, has been released from a Ugandan prison after spending two decades behind bars over a case dating back to 2003, before the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and South Sudan’s independence.

Joseph was accused of killing of five soldiers from the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) in Suk Agoro in 2003. A charge he denies. At the time, he was handed over to the Ugandan authorities by the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) and later tried and sentenced to life imprisonment by a Ugandan court.

He was held at Luzira Maximum Security Prison as of 2015 before being transferred to Arua Prison, where he was released on Tuesday after serving 20 years in custody.

Joseph’s imprisonment spanned major political changes in the region, including the end of Sudan’s civil war and the independence of South Sudan in 2011. His release brings to a close one of the long-running cases involving South Sudanese nationals detained in neighboring countries during the war years.

Details surrounding the terms of his release and his next steps were not immediately available by the time of publication.

An Indian Lionel Messi fan arrived at the stadium holding a placard that read:
🗣️“Messi, show them how to win a 6–7 match cup again”

The sign is a direct response to a recent interview by Cristiano Ronaldo, where he claimed that winning a tournament in just 6–7 matches doesn’t make you the world’s best a clear reference to the World Cup.👀

Today, Indian fans turned that comment into a bold message: Messi has done it before, and he can show the world again proving that in 6–7 matches, you can win the trophy and be the GOAT. 🐐🔥
