He added that citizens have no idea about the committee’s program and called on the committee to make awareness campaigns before it begins its work.
General Secretary of the Peace and Reconciliation Committee, Livio Geliogo Bahra, explained that this program started in three areas in Wau named of Salam, Darajat and Eastern Bank.
