The parties to the agreement and South Sudanese should pray to strengthen ‘our delicate peace’, says the Vice President of the Sudan Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
Bishop Erkolano Lodu Tombe says South Sudanese need support to resettle returnees.
He calls on people of the young nation to have hope and ensure that the current peace being implemented ‘will be holding’.
Bishop Lodu urges South Sudan leaders to learn from the bitter experiences of war and its destruction to people and economy for the nation to develop.
