Civil society organizations in Eastern Equatoria are against any celebration for the creation of Imotong and Namurnyang States.
Focus on security, justice, peace and reconciliation, says Ebul Simon, the civil society organization chairperson.
He also asks the government to provide a solution to the current economic crisis in the country, Radio Emmanuel reports.
Implementation of the states is a premature step, Ebul argues.
The state government should wait for resolution on the matter by Council of States.
But, Eastern Equatoria Governor, Louis Lobong Lojore, argues that he did not arrange any day for celebrating the creation of states.
However, an invitation sent out by Torit Mayor for contribution to the celebration indicates December 4th.
