South Sudan Council of Churches is appealing to the government to end fighting and carry out investigation into the recent violence in Wau and other parts of the country.
Bishop Peter Gai Lual, the Chairman of South Sudan Council of Churches urges the unity government to save lives that will vote them in future elections, Radio Bakhita reports.
People are getting finished now, who will vote in the next elections to legitimize the government? He asks.
The Council of Churches also demands the rights of citizens affected by conflict to be respected.
The Council expresses bitterness over death, injuries, hunger and fear crippling people in Wau.
Bishop Enock Tombe, the Representative of Faith Based Organizations says it is critical now to speak the truth to the face of those in power.
It is time for self-correction for a peaceful living in South Sudan, the bishop says.
The bishops made the appeal on Wednesday during a press briefing in Juba.
