A civil society activist says overwhelming trauma in South Sudan hinders healing and reconciliation.
Edmund Yakani says healing and reconciliation in the country will only be realized through political will against revenge.
The civil society activist notes that trauma in South Sudan even makes students to threaten their teachers with words such as ‘Do you know who I am?’
Peace implementation is only achievable through upholding people’s will and not losing temper to pick up guns to resolve disagreement, says Peter Winter, the Executive Director of the Institute of Applied Research and Community Outreach.
Resolve your differences by dialogue not force, he urges South Sudan political leaders.
The officials were discussing the way forward for reconciliation, justice and healing in the country at a public lecture in the Catholic University of South Sudan.
