Auxiliary Bishop of Juba Archdiocese on Friday told AMECEA training participants that he observed South Sudan and Sudan leaders as dry bones who need spiritual dressing predicted in the Bible.
Bishop Santo Loku Pio said the conflict situations in the two sisterly nations forced him to conclude that dry bones are in charge of governance.
He cited great fear among citizens in Juba who sometimes choose to be prisoners instead of rushing to UNMISS protection sites because of being afraid of leaders.
Bishop Loku explained that South Sudanese and Sudanese need to embrace love for God and one another to revitalize their diminishing spiritual flesh.
The Auxiliary Bishop made the remark while closing AMECEA capacity building workshop that drew over 40 participants from Kenya, Tanzania, South Sudan and Sudan on behalf of Archbishop Paolino Lukudu Loro.
