Greater Bahr El Ghazal government officials moved concern on how to resolve Lakes state inter-clan crisis that claimed many lives of people in the region.
The idea came after the killing of Lieutenant Colonel Yol Muordit and two others in clashes between Gok and Agar youths in the state, Voice of Hope reported.
Warrap Member of Parliament Toby Mawut Yuot told citizens during a public rally to resolve issues through dialogue, calling on leaders to create awareness to communities on impacts of fighting.
He warned that should Lakes State problem continue without intervention, it would result to regional conflict, condemning the ‘senseless’ killing of military officers.
The MP urged community elders to stop tattooing youths because it became a factor contributing to targeted killings.
Northern Bahr El Ghazal former speaker Aguer Wol Aguer called on leaders to convey peace messages to grassroots.
He encouraged traditional chiefs to work with the government for peace and reconciliation to restore social interaction among communities.
Wau Mayor Arkangelo Anyar Anyar thanked the leaders for their peace initiative, saying it would help people to resolve issues before they get out of hand.
