The Governor of Eastern Equatoria State Louis Lobong Lojore has formed a 6 member committee of peace and reconciliation for the Greater Kapoeta region.
The governor was optimistic that the committee’s goals will be achieved due to the fact that it is a community to community led peace process involving dialogue with participants being the warring communities’ including youths, women, elders, chiefs, opinion leaders and intellectuals.
Gurtong contacted some politicians and ordinary citizens from Greater Kapoeta who welcomed the Governor’s initiative and urged their communities to immediately cease hostilities amongst themselves and commit to open dialogue to resolve clannish conflicts.
The Catholic Radio Network (CRN) is a media project constituted by community-based radio stations broadcasting in Frequency Modulation from Juba, Yei, Torit, Yambio, Rumbek, Tonj, Wau, and Malakal. CRN has also a station in the Nuba Mountains. All the stations share the same vision and mission, and are bound by common editorial and administrative policies. All stations broadcast shared programs in English: news, civic education, and other educational programs. Due to the heterogeneous realities of South Sudan, each station is rooted in its locality and broadcasts locally produced culture-sensitive programs in the languages which are understood by the local people. For its outreach, CRN has a potential audience of about seven million people, considering the influx of returnees to South Sudan after the Sudan Population Census 2008.
