Civil Society organizations in South Sudan call for conditional amnesty to create stability and build a strong foundation in the future.
James David Kolok, Executive Director of Foundation for Democracy and Accountable Governance says those to be forgiven should give information to address future problems.
The Director believes that conditional amnesty creates peace of mind to conflict victims.
It is important for perpetrators to realize what they have done before justice, says Lorna Merekaje of South Sudan Democratic Engagement, Monitoring and Observation Programme.
The three-day conference under the theme: ‘Mercy discussions on compassion and forgiveness towards peaceful and cohesive South Sudan’ in Juba brought together religious leaders, civil society among others.
