The Governor of Western Bahr el Ghazal State appealed to citizens to focus on developing sports in order to get rid of tribalism among communities.
Sarah Cleto Riel, said that Western Bahr el Ghazal state is a state of peace and love and it has a good slogan that came from sports.
She therefore appealed to citizens to avoid weapons and tribal centiments and focus on sports that bring people together.
Cleto Riel confirmed that the state government will support the youth and will work with the Ministry of Culture and Sports to develop sports in order to unite the people.
The governor appealed and encouraged all communities in Western Bahr El Ghazal State to think about the future of the current generation through sports, which can make them become symbols and leaders of the state.
The Minister of Wildlife and National Tourism, Rizik Zacharia Hassan expressed his regret and said that the level of sports activities in Wau is low, which made the spirit of tribalism high in the state.
Rizik appealed to the state government to adopt the spirit of encouraging and funding sports clubs in the state because sports unite people as one people of one nation.
The leaders made these statements to the media at the end of the week during the match that brought together Al Hilal and Al Salam teams in Wau Stadium.
