The Catholic Diocesan Counseling Center of Yei on Tuesday started a three-day workshop for 30 communities in Yei on conflict mitigation and resolution.
Parish Priest of Christ the King Cathedral Tom Poru Martin said South Sudan is one of the most countries affected by the conflict in Africa.
The neighboring countries and the churches as mothers are standing strong for peace to prevail in the youngest nation, he noted.
Fr Poru emphasized that many Christians are suffering and people are traumatized which led to too much alcohol consumption and violence at families with others committing suicide.
Diocesan Counseling Center program manager, Mokobe Joel, , urges participants to gain enough knowledge in the three-day workshop to be ambassadors of peace in their various communities to promote peaceful coexistence
The official made the remarks during the opening of the workshop at St Bakhita Training hall on Tuesday in Yei.
