The General urged the people of Eastern Equatoria state to nurture the region in order to regain harmony from the past struggles and its bloodshed and loss of lives.
Mr. Mamur said Eastern Equatoria should follow on the footsteps of Fr. Saturlino Ohure, Emilio Taffeng and others who inspired the liberation struggle in the region and be an example to the whole of South Sudan.
The SPLA deputy chief of general staff, who hails from Eastern Equatoria, was among several leaders attending the Easter celebration at Our Lady of Assumption Church in Torit town.
