Association of Member of Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa or AMECEA Social Communication Coordinator on Wednesday described Bakhita Radio closure as ‘unfortunate’ and prayed for amicable resolution to its issue.
Fr Chrisantus Ndaga said the Radio is a crucial tool serving peace building efforts in South Sudan and that its closure affects many people.
He added that the government and the Radio management should find a permanent solution.
The Coordinator who is in Juba for capacity building workshop on planning and management skills, said peace building is crucial at grassroots including local churches to pave way for healing and reconciliation in the country.
Fr Ndaga called on masses to come together and champion workable peace process instead of leaving it only to leaders.
The visiting Coordinator observed that South Sudan socioeconomic growth was picking up well right from independence, but marred by multiple crises due to unresolved issues after the 21 years of civil war.
