A pastor who is National Healing, Peace and Reconciliation Committee Secretary General appealed to South Sudanese to reconcile to realize a lasting peace in the country.
Rev Bernard Oliya Suwa in his pastoral appeal on Monday urged South Sudanese leaders and citizens to take reconciliation as a goal.
He said all people of South Sudan have to recognize that reconciliation is a gradual process that requires all citizens to make painful sacrifices through a collective desire to live together in peace as God’s children.
Rev Oliya preached that ‘All the transgressions and violations we experience among ourselves and in our societies have their source in the fundamental violation of our relation to God’.
He said his primary concern is the reconciliation that repairs the damage that was done among brothers and sisters from different tribes and communities in South Sudan.
The Secretary General said what happened since December 15 left almost unimaginable damages in hearts of many South Sudanese.
He called on South Sudanese to carry forward reconciliation messages on behalf of Jesus Christ and accept it as a mandate.
