Meanwhile State Chairperson for ICC Pastor Oryem Solomon Abalang says South Sudanese are longing for peace.
The pastor hopes that the New Year 2020 will promote peaceful coexistence in the country.
Hellen Achiro Victor says peace should start at grassroots instead of waiting for leaders to reconcile.
She urges leaders to iron out pending issues within the 100 days agreed and give peace a chance.
This year’s Christmas Carol’s is celebrated under the theme: ‘Forget the former things neither should you dwell in the past. Behold I will do for you new things and it shall Spring Up’.
