The Bishop of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan and Sudan in Yei Diocese expresses disappointment after reading reports of killing in the new nation.
Bishop Hillary Luwate Adeba says many people do not want to come to the nation because they believe that it loves killing, robbery and violence, Radio Easter reported.
He describes the attack by unknown gunmen against traders, passengers and recent mourners along high ways as an ‘immortal sin’.
Yei Mayor Santo Paul Lasuba urges citizens to pray daily for the suffering people in conflict-affected areas and the warring parties to reach a final peace deal.
The leaders were speaking at the closure of prayer and fasting for peace and reconciliation in Yei on Saturday.
