Christians are preparing for three-day peace prayers at Regina Mundi Ezo Catholic Parish of Tombura-Yambio.
The prayer for peace and reconciliation is directed to Western Equatoria and South Sudan as a whole, says Fr Diko Raphael, the Acting Parish Priest, Radio Anisa reports.
On the first day, the prayer will be conducted in SPLA Garrison Headquarters in Ezo with trans-night adoration of Eucharist, says the priest.
Peace is a gift from God entrusted to the people, he explains.
Western Equatoria has been experiencing insecurity for nearly a year now.
