Juba Catholic Archbishop has petitioned President Salva Kiir Mayardit and SPLM/A in Opposition leader Dr Riek Machar Teny to stop fighting in the country to leave a legacy of happiness as they may not live for any longer soon.
Archbishop Paolino Lukudu Loro in his massage on the eve of Independence Day on Wednesday July 8th pleaded that if it is in the powers of the warring leaders to stop the war let them do so, Radio Bakhita reported.
He cautions the leaders against leaving South Sudan in chaos as they disappear from the political scene.
The Archbishop says the nation expects President Kiir to make changes in administration with a new perspective.
The Catholic prelate urges all South Sudanese to think about South Sudan as a nation not of the leaders or fighters.
