Urgent Call for Political Reconciliation in South Sudan

The Catholic Church in South Sudan urges political leaders to reconcile before Easter amid rising tensions that threaten a return to civil war.


Urgent Call for Political Reconciliation in South Sudan

Cardinal Stephen Ameyu Martin Mulla, Archbishop of Juba, led a call for reconciliation among the political leaders of South Sudan this Friday. The Catholic Church of the country made this urgent appeal amid rising tensions that have raised fears of a possible return to civil war in recent weeks.

The situation in South Sudan has been a cause for concern due to recent events that have heightened political tensions in the region. In light of this, the Catholic Church has urged political leaders to seek reconciliation and avoid armed conflict that could destabilize the country even further.

In relation to this call for reconciliation, Cardinal Stephen Ameyu Martin Mulla stated: "It is necessary for the political leaders of South Sudan to put aside their differences and seek the common good of the people. Violence will only bring more suffering and pain to our nation."

The Catholic Church has emphasized the importance of working together for peace and stability in South Sudan, especially during this period leading up to the celebration of Easter. It is hoped that this call for political reconciliation will be heard and that the country's leaders can reach an agreement to prevent an escalation of violence.
