The Committee for National Healing, Peace and Reconciliation rejected the hopelessness and the pessimism of international community on insecurity in Jonglei believed to destabilise the whole nation. 
 
The chairman of the Committee, Archbishop Daniel Deng Bull in a statement said what is happening in Jonglei at the moment is a massive tragedy, but can be resolved.
 
He expressed concern at the faulty analysis of many international community members and their lack of understanding of the complexity and the long term roots of this crisis. 
 
The Prelate believes that the 2012 Jonglei peace agreement is still a viable option if implemented and a new agreement is not needed because the first one includes all the inter-communal factors to be addressed. 
 
He admitted that David Yau Yau’s rebellion is the greatest single obstacle to the implementation of the peace agreement. 
 
The Archbishop said ‘We stand ready to meet him to facilitate this. We support the efforts of the many other players, including Murle elders and politicians, who are trying to persuade Yau Yau to accept the Presidential amnesty.
