The President of the Republic expressed hope that Easter season would mark the end of violence and political confrontations in the country to create chance for peace.
Salva Kiir Mayardit told St Theresa Cathedral congregation amid thunderous applause on Sunday that Christians would celebrate 2015 Easter peacefully instead of weeping in war as it is in 2014.
He condemned Bor youth for attacking IDPs at UN compound terming it as an ‘irresponsible act by irresponsible people’.
He also condemned road block checkpoints taxing relief workers on their way to conflict affected areas.
President Kiir said several checkpoints taxing aid workers are illegal and must be removed immediately.
He added that officers found blocking roads to relief suppliers and taxing them would severely be punished.
President Kiir refuted international media reports that the conflict in South Sudan has ethnic dimension, insisting that it is a power struggle.
