A number of chapels gathered in Sts Peter and Paul Parish Gidel in Nuba Mountains to pray for peace in the Sudan particularly Nuba Mountains, Blue Nile, Abyei and Darfur.
The main celebrant Yuohana Alamin said there cannot be peace without addressing human rights issues, Voice of Peace reported.
He said peace without recognition of human rights values and justice was not peace.
Fr Alamin stressed that peace in the face of increasing violence and inequality was not comprehensive peace and that the true peace comes from one God.
He said human rights, justice and peace were three entities that could not exist without the absence of one another.
